Tafluprost 0.0015% w/v (15 micrograms/mL) + Timolol (as timolol maleate) 0.5% w/v

Uses of SAFLUTAN-S EYE DROPS

Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension when combination therapy is required.

• •Lowers elevated eye pressure
• •Helps prevent glaucoma-related vision loss
• •Dual mechanism improves IOP control
• •Convenient once-daily dosing
• •Effective in open-angle glaucoma/ocular hypertension

How it works

Tafluprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humour, lowering IOP. Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that reduces aqueous humour production, further decreasing IOP.
