To control intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients on maximally tolerated glaucoma therapy for a period of 3 months. In clinical studies the drop in intraocular pressure (IOP) appeared to decrease after Day 60 which may be associated with a progression of the disease or loss of effect of the drug. This phenomenon appears to be an individual occurence with a variable time of onset. As with any patient on maximally tolerated therapy (See Dosage & Administration), patients using apraclonidine 0.5% eye drops to delay surgery should have frequent follow-up examinations and treatment should be discontinued if IOP rises significantly. In patients who have maintained a response to apraclonidine 0.5% eye drops for 3 months and a decision is made to continue treatment, safety aspects, including any evidence of corneal changes (see Warnings and Precautions), and IOP control should be closely monitored.
You should seek advice from your doctor or pharmacist about taking this medicine. They can help you balance the risks and the benefits of this medicine during pregnancy.
