Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
How SAFLUTAN EYE DROPS Works
Tafluprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue. It increases uveoscleral (and to some extent trabecular) outflow of aqueous humour from the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure.
Dosage & Directions
For ophthalmic use only. Typically instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, or as directed by an ophthalmologist. Do not use more than once daily. If using other eye drops, keep a 5–10 minute gap. Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after at least 15 minutes (if applicable).
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
Store as per label; generally keep below 25°C, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep bottle tightly closed. Discard within the in-use period stated on pack (commonly 4 weeks after opening).
