Netarsudil

Introduction

Netarsudil is a prescription medication primarily used to treat high eye pressure, a condition known as ocular hypertension, and glaucoma. By helping to reduce intraocular pressure, it protects the optic nerve from damage and prevents vision loss. This medication is usually administered as eye drops and is suitable for adults and older patients under medical guidance. Netarsudil is recognized for its effectiveness in managing eye pressure while being convenient for daily use.
