How does this medication work?
Gludroz Eye Drop is used in ophthalmic solutions that work by reducing intraocular pressure in conditions like ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma. It is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces secretion of aqueous humor in the eye and slows down the formation of bicarbonate ions thereby reducing transport of sodium and fluid.
