My father takes ocupress for many years, along with pilocarpine. can i assume side effects are minimal cause it is adminstered directly into the eye?

Slows heart rate: Ocupress can be systemically absorbed after application in the eye resulting in slowing of the heart rate. Pilocarpine is an older glaucoma medicine that is infrequently prescribed.
