Basic Information

Mechanism Of Action

Carpinol Eye Drop is a cholinergic agonist. It works by allowing excess aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) to drain from the eye, thereby lowering the increased eye pressure. It also helps reverse the effect of medicines that increase the size of the pupil.

Pharmacokinets

In a multiple-dose pharmacokinetic study in male volunteers following 2 days of 5 or 10 mg of oral Pilocarpine hydrochloride tablets given at 8 a.m., noontime, and 6 p.m., the mean elimination half-life was 0.76 hours for the 5 mg dose and 1.35 hours for the 10 mg dose.
