Alcon offers support to help you get the most from your RHOPRESSA® treatment.
How does RHOPRESSA® work?
Elevated IOP may result in glaucoma
For people with open-angle glaucoma, fluid in the eye (called aqueous humor) does not drain properly. This elevates the pressure in the eye.
How can RHOPRESSA® help?
RHOPRESSA® is a prescription medication for the reduction of high eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
- RHOPRESSA® helps increase the flow of fluid from the eye, which can lower the eye pressure

INDICATION
What is RHOPRESSA®?
RHOPRESSA® (netarsudil ophthalmic solution) 0.02% is a prescription medicine to reduce high eye pressure (intraocular pressure, or IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
- Avoid allowing the tip of the bottle to contact the eye, surrounding structures, fingers, or any other surface in order to minimize contamination of the solution. Serious damage to the eye and subsequent loss of vision may result from using contaminated solution.
- If you develop another ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection, or decreased vision with or without eye pain), have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular side effects, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your healthcare provider’s advice about continuing to use RHOPRESSA®.
- The preservative in RHOPRESSA®, benzalkonium chloride, may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation of RHOPRESSA®, but may be reinserted 15 minutes after instillation.
- If you are using more than one eyedrop, the drugs should be administered at least 5 minutes apart.
- The most common side effect of RHOPRESSA® in clinical trials was red eyes (53% of patients). Six percent of patients stopped taking RHOPRESSA® due to red eyes. Other common (approximately 20%) side effects were: small deposits on the outer surface of the eye, instillation site pain, and broken blood vessels on the white of the eye.
