• Treatment of Myopia
• Treatment of Uveitis

Treatment of Myopia
Myopia or nearsightedness is an eye disorder in which you have difficulty seeing distant objects but can see objects that are near clearly. Malano 0.6mg Injection helps treat myopia by relaxing the muscles which enable the eyes to focus on distant objects. Use Malano 0.6mg Injection as prescribed by your doctor.

Treatment of Uveitis
The middle layer in the inner wall of the eye is called the uvea and any inflammation in this layer is called uveitis. This may cause sudden noticeable symptoms such as pain, redness, blurred vision, swelling etc. It may even occur after an eye procedure of surgery such as cataract surgery. Malano 0.6mg Injection helps relieve these symptoms and improves eye health. It should be used as advised by the doctor to get the most benefit.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Malano 0.6mg Injection is an anticholinergic medication. It works by making the pupil of your eye larger and relaxes the muscles in your eye, allowing proper examination. It also helps reduce inflammation or swelling in the eye (uveitis or iritis). Using Malano 0.6mg Injection dilates the pupils and temporarily paralyzes the focusing muscle inside the eye. It also relaxes the eyes' focusing mechanisms. This treats myopia.
