Miloxir F Pro Ophthalmic Solution

Introduction

Miloxir F Pro is a prescription medication that contains two active ingredients: Minoxidil and Finasteride. It is available in the form of an eye drop solution.

Uses

Miloxir F Pro is primarily used to treat a condition called ocular hypertension, which is characterized by increased pressure inside the eye. It is also prescribed for patients with open-angle glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Miloxir F Pro is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional and use the medication exactly as prescribed.

To administer the eye drops, tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper close to your eye without touching it, and squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket. After administering the eye drops, close your eyes gently for a few seconds to allow the medication to spread evenly.

Mechanism of Action

Minoxidil, one of the active ingredients in Miloxir F Pro, works by relaxing the blood vessels in the eye, which helps to reduce the pressure inside the eye. Finasteride, the other active ingredient, works by inhibiting the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can contribute to increased eye pressure.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include eye irritation, burning or stinging sensation, redness, and blurred vision. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, such as severe eye pain, changes in vision, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare professional about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. There are no known significant drug interactions with Miloxir F Pro. However, it is always best to check with your healthcare professional to ensure there are no potential interactions that could affect the safety or effectiveness of the medication.

Precautions

Before using Miloxir F Pro, inform your healthcare professional if you have any known allergies to Minoxidil, Finasteride, or any other medications. Additionally, let your healthcare professional know about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have a history of eye problems, high blood pressure, or heart disease.

Miloxir F Pro is for external use only and should not be ingested. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface to prevent contamination. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, discuss the potential risks and benefits of using this medication with your healthcare professional.

Storage

Miloxir F Pro should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Do not freeze the medication. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
