Odyral
This medicine is used to lower high pressure in the eye and to treat glaucoma.
How to Use
Dosage
When used alone, the typical dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) three times a day (morning, afternoon, and evening). If used with other eye drops (beta-blockers), it's usually one drop twice a day (morning and evening).
Method
This medicine is for eye use only. Wash your hands. Open a new single-dose container for each use. Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid, and put one drop into the 'pocket' you've made. Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface. Close your eye and press the inner corner for about two minutes. Throw away any leftover medicine after use.
Do not exceed the dose your doctor has prescribed, usually one drop three times a day when used alone, or twice a day if used with other eye drops.
