Used primarily in ophthalmology for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by reducing intraocular pressure, which helps prevent damage to the optic nerve and potential vision loss. The compound is often administered in the form of eye drops, ensuring direct and effective delivery to the affected area. Its mechanism involves decreasing the production of aqueous humor while increasing its outflow, thereby maintaining a healthy pressure balance within the eye. This makes it a critical component in managing chronic eye conditions and improving patient outcomes.
