4.2      Posology and method of administration

Posology
One drop of IOPIDINE 0.5% should be instilled into the affected eye(s) three times per day (t.i.d.). Since IOPIDINE 0.5% will be used with other ocular glaucoma therapies, an approximate five minute interval between instillation of each medication should be observed to prevent washout of the previous dose. Eye ointments should be administered last. If, for any reason, the drop of IOPIDINE 0.5% does not remain in the eye, then the patient should repeat the dose by placing another drop in the eye. The maximum recommended duration of therapy is one month due to loss of effect over time (tachyphylaxis). However, some patients may benefit from treatment with IOPIDINE 0.5% for longer periods.

There are no special precautions for administration to the elderly.

Paediatric Population
IOPIDINE 0.5% is not indicated for children and adolescents under 18 years old.
The safety and efficacy of IOPIDINE 0.5% in children has not been established. No data are available.
Method of administration

For ocular use only.

After cap is removed, if tamper evident snap collar is loose, remove before using product.
Nasolacrimal occlusion or gently closing the eyelid after instillation is recommended. This may reduce the systemic absorption of medications administered via the ocular route and result in a decrease in systemic side effects.
