Typical dosage for Isopto Carpine
People 2 years of age and older
- Open-angle glaucoma or high pressure in the eye: The typical dose is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) up to 4 times daily. It's best to start with the 1% strength (the lowest strength) of pilocarpine eye drops to avoid side effects. Your prescriber might adjust the number of drops or the strength of pilocarpine eye drops you need depending on your eye pressure.
- Acute angle-closure glaucoma: This condition is usually treated with pilocarpine eye drops and other medications in a clinic or hospital. In most cases, the typical starting dose is 1 drop of the 1% or 2% strength in the affected eye(s) up to 3 times within a 30-minute period. Your eye specialist might tell you to continue using the 1% strength as 1 drop in the affected eye(s) 4 times a day while you wait for laser treatment.
- To prepare for laser eye surgery or to make the pupils smaller: Pilocarpine eye drops are usually given by an eye specialist before your eye procedure at a clinic or hospital. Your eye specialist will place 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye(s), 15 to 60 minutes before the surgery or procedure.
Children younger than 2 years old should use the 1% strength of pilocarpine eye drops as 1 drop in the affected eye(s) no more than 3 times a day. Ask your child's eye specialist for more information about dosing for specific situations.
