Iopidine eye drops are administered as directed by your doctor, usually 3 times daily. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using eye drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before replacing them.
To apply the eye drops:
- Wash your hands first and avoid touching the dropper tip or letting it touch your eye or any other surface.
- Tilt your head back, create a pouch by pulling down the lower eyelid, and drop one drop into the pouch.
- Close your eyes gently without blinking and apply pressure for 1 to 2 minutes at the corner of your eye near the nose with one finger.
- Repeat the same process for your other eye if directed so.
- Remove extra solution around the eye with a tissue and make sure to wash your hands to prevent the transfer of the medication to other surfaces.
If you are using another eye medication, wait at least 5 minutes before using the other medication, and always use the eye drops before the ointment.
Dosage is determined by your medical condition and response to treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as extended use of Iopidine eyedrops may reduce their effectiveness, and your doctor will monitor your progress with regular eye exams.
As always, follow your doctor’s instructions and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns regarding the use of Iopidine eye drops.
