Contents of the pack and other information
1. WHAT GANFORT IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
GANFORT contains two different active substances (bimatoprost and
timolol) that both reduce
pressure in the eye. Bimatoprost belongs to a group of medicines
called prostamides, a prostaglandin
analogue. Timolol belongs to a group of medicines called
beta-blockers.
Your eye contains a clear, watery liquid that feeds the inside of the
eye. Liquid is constantly being
drained out of the eye and new liquid is made to replace this. If the
liquid cannot drain out quickly
enough, the pressure inside the eye builds up and could eventually
damage your sight (an illness called
glaucoma). GANFORT works by reducing the production of liquid and also
increasing the amount of
liquid that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye.
GANFORT eye drops are used to treat high pressure in the eye in
adults, including the elderly
.
This
high pressure can lead to glaucoma. Your doctor will prescribe you
GANFORT when other eye drops
containing beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues have not worked
sufficiently on their own.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Recommended dosage in adults (including older people) _
The recommended dose is one drop of GANFORT in the affected eye(s)
once daily, administered
either in the morning or in the evening. It should be administered at
the same time each day.
Existing literature data for GANFORT suggest that evening dosing may
be more effective in IOP
lowering than morning dosing. However, consideration should be given
to the likelihood of
compliance when considering either morning or evening dosing (see
section 5.1).
If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as
planned. The dose should not
exceed one drop in the affected eye(s) daily.
_Renal and hepatic impairment _
GANFORT has not been studied in patients with hepatic or renal
impairment. Therefore caution
should be used in treating such patients.
_Paediatric population_
The safety and efficacy of GANFORT in children aged 0 to 18 years has
not been established. No data
are available.
_ _
Method of administration
If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is to be used,
each one should be instilled at
least 5 minutes apart.
When using nasolacrimal occlusion or closing the eyelids for 2
minutes, the systemic absorption is
reduced. This may result in a decrease
