What does it do?

Lifustid hydrochloride hydrate is a medication used in the treatment of glaucoma that helps to control intraocular pressure. This ingredient is primarily administered in the form of eye drops to alleviate increased intraocular pressure.

Lifustid hydrochloride hydrate lowers intraocular pressure by promoting the drainage of aqueous humor from inside the eye. This helps to prevent damage to the optic nerve and inhibit the progression of glaucoma.
