What does Avva Capsule SR do?

expand_more

Avva Capsule SR reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve responsible for normal vision.

Avva Capsule SR effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.

Who should not take Avva Capsule SR?

You should not take Avva Capsule SR if you have or ever had cirrhosis, severe liver or kidney disease, an electrolyte imbalance, adrenal gland failure, or an allergy to Avva Capsule SR or sulfa drugs. Also, let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or are breastfeeding to avoid any harmful effects on your baby.

Is Avva Capsule SR effective?
