ACAMBA is used to reduce high intraocular pressure in adults, adolescents and children from 2 months of age onwards.This pressure can lead to a condition called glaucoma.

Instructions for use:
BEFORE INSTILLATION
- Multi-dose bottle: immediately before using the bottle for the first time, write the date of opening the bottle in the appropriate space on the box.
- Wash your hands. OPENING
- Multi-dose bottle: unscrew the cap. After removing the cap, if the protective mobile ring is loose, remove it before using the medicine.
- Single-dose container: remove a single-dose container from the strip (Fig. 1) and open the cap with a slight rotation (Fig. 2). INSTILLATION
- Hold the multi-dose bottle/single-dose containerin your hand, between your thumb and other fingers, and hold it pointing downwards.
- Tilt your head back or gently bring the child's head back (Fig. 3). Lower the lower eyelid with a clean finger, so as to form a “pocket” between the eyelid and the eye. The drop should be inserted there (Fig. 4).
- Hold the tip of the multi-dose bottle/single-dose containerclose to the eye. It may be helpful to use a mirror.
- Do not touch the eye or eyelid, the surrounding areas or other surfaces with the tip of thebottle/single-dose container.This could infect the eye drops.

- After using ACAMBA, keep your eyes closed, apply slight pressure with a finger to the corner of the eye, near the nose for at least one minute (Fig. 5). This helps to prevent ACAMBA from spreading throughout the body.
- If you are using the eye drops in both eyes, repeat the steps for the other eye. AFTER INSTILLATION
- Multi-dose bottle: close the cap tightly immediately after use.
- Single-dose container: throw away the single-dose container and any remaining contents.
