Frequently asked questions for Levobunolol

Levobunolol

Q. What does Levobunolol do?

Levobunolol reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optical nerve responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually lead to blindness. Levobunolol effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

Q. How should you use Levobunolol?

Levobunolol should be used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Levobunolol eye drops are usually instilled once or twice a day at evenly spaced intervals, until the pressure in the eye is controlled (about 4 weeks). After that, it can be instilled once a day or as advised by the doctor. Follow the directions of your doctor carefully, and ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand.

Q. Is Levobunolol effective?

Levobunolol is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Levobunolol too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.

Q. I feel better now, can I stop using Levobunolol?

No, you should not stop using Levobunolol suddenly without talking to your doctor. This is because if you stop the medication before completing the treatment then your symptoms may return or even worsen. Use Levobunolol in the dose and duration advised by your doctor to get maximum benefit of Levobunolol.

Q. In which conditions is the use of Levobunolol avoided?

Use of Levobunolol should be avoided in patients who are allergic to Levobunolol or any of its components. However, if you are not aware of any allergy or if you are using Levobunolol for the first time, consult your doctor.

Q. What are the instructions for the storage and disposal of Levobunolol?

Keep Levobunolol in the container or the pack it came in, tightly closed. Store it according to the instructions mentioned on the pack or label. Dispose off the unused medicine. Keep it away from children and other people to avoid any misuse.
