Pilocarpine Solution

Generic Name: Pilocarpine Ophthalmic Solution (pye-loe-KAR-peen)
Brand Name: Examples include Isopto Carpine and Pilocar

Pilocarpine Solution is used for:

Treating glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye) alone or in combination with other medicines. It may also be used to reverse the effects of other medicines used during eye surgeries or examinations. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.

Pilocarpine Solution is a direct-acting miotic. It works by lowering the fluid pressure inside the eye by increasing fluid drainage. It also causes the pupils to constrict or get smaller (miosis).

you are allergic to any ingredient in Pilocarpine Solution
you have glaucoma, eye inflammation, or a severe eye infection

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
