It is used to treat open-angle glaucoma (an eye condition caused due to an abnormal drainage system in the eye causing increased fluid pressure within the eyes) and intraocular hypertension (abnormally high pressure within the eyes).

Ocudor-T Eye Drops shows common side effects such as burning or stinging sensation in your eye, mild eye discomfort, or bitterness in the mouth. These side effects usually subside with time.
