Brimolol Eye Drop

Product Overview

Brimolol Eye Drop is a medication containing the active ingredient Brimonidine Tartrate. It is a prescription eye drop used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension, conditions characterized by increased pressure inside the eye.

Uses

Brimolol Eye Drop is primarily used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing pressure inside the eye, it helps to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss associated with these conditions.

How to Use

To use Brimolol Eye Drop, wash your hands thoroughly before handling the medication. Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and instill the prescribed number of drops into the eye. Close your eyes gently for 1-2 minutes, allowing the medication to spread evenly. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination.

How it Works

The active ingredient Brimonidine Tartrate in Brimolol Eye Drop works by reducing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye), thereby lowering intraocular pressure. It also improves the drainage of fluid from the eye, further decreasing pressure and preventing damage to the optic nerve.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of it depends on the severity of the condition and the individual patient’s response to treatment. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the prescribed dosage to avoid adverse effects.
