Ganfort 3ml is an eye drop solution prescribed to lower high pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) for adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The medication combines two active ingredients, bimatoprost and timolol, to help prevent vision damage and blindness. 

Key information

  • Active ingredients: Bimatoprost (0.3 mg/ml) and timolol (5 mg/ml).
  • Mechanism: Bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog, increases the outflow of fluid from the eye, while timolol, a beta-blocker, reduces the production of fluid. This dual action effectively decreases pressure inside the eye.
  • Prescription: This medication can only be obtained with a prescription from a doctor. 

Common uses

  • Glaucoma: A condition where high intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss.
  • Ocular hypertension: A condition where the pressure in the eye is higher than normal, which can increase the risk of developing glaucoma.
  • Combination therapy: It is often prescribed for patients who have not responded sufficiently to other eye drops containing beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues alone. 

Application and dosage

  • Administration: It is for external use only. Wash your hands before using.
  • Frequency: The recommended dose is typically one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, ideally at the same time each day.
  • Instructions: To apply, hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Pull down the lower eyelid to create a pouch, squeeze the dropper to release one drop, and then gently close the eye. To minimize systemic absorption, press a finger against the corner of your closed eye for two minutes.
  • Missed dose: If you miss a dose, continue with the next scheduled dose as planned.
  • Other eye drops: Wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between using Ganforte and any other eye drops. 

Potential side effects

  • Most common side effects: Eye redness (conjunctival hyperaemia), stinging or burning sensation, eye itching, and eyelash growth.
  • Other side effects:
    • Change in iris color.
    • Darkening of eyelids and eyelashes.
    • Dry eyes, blurred vision, or visual disturbance.
    • Headache.
  • Serious side effects: As the active ingredients can be absorbed into the bloodstream, it is possible to experience side effects similar to those of oral beta-blockers, such as effects on the heart.
  • Consult a doctor: If side effects are severe or persistent, contact your doctor.

Important warnings

  • Prescription only: Use this medication exactly as prescribed by a doctor.
  • Contact lenses: Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
  • Driving: Since it can cause temporary blurred vision, you should not drive or operate heavy machinery immediately after use.
  • Pregnancy: It may be unsafe during pregnancy; consult your doctor before use.
