Glanatec Ophthalmic Solution 0.4% – 5 ml × 5 Vials

Product Overview

Glanatec Ophthalmic Solution 0.4% is a sterile eye drop formulation containing ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate, a modern medication used in the management of glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure. It belongs to the class of Rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors and is designed to improve fluid outflow from the eye, helping to reduce pressure and support optic nerve health.

This product is commonly used in patients who require additional intraocular pressure control or who do not achieve sufficient results with conventional glaucoma therapies.

Composition

• Active ingredient: Ripasudil hydrochloride hydrate 0.4%
• Dosage form: Sterile ophthalmic solution
• Packaging: 5 vials × 5 ml
• Route of administration: Ophthalmic (eye drops)

Mechanism of Action

Ripasudil works by inhibiting Rho kinase enzymes that regulate cellular contraction in the eye’s drainage system. By relaxing the trabecular meshwork, it enhances the outflow of aqueous humor, leading to a reduction in intraocular pressure.

This mechanism differs from traditional treatments and provides an additional therapeutic pathway for managing glaucoma.
