Alphagan P Drop

Product Overview

Alphagan P Drop is a medication containing the active ingredient Brimonidine. It belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha agonists, which work by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye and increasing the drainage of fluid, thereby lowering pressure inside the eye.

Uses

Alphagan P Drop is used to treat open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye). It helps to reduce the risk of vision loss associated with these conditions.

How to Use

To use Alphagan P Drop, wash your hands first. Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Do not blink or rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if instructed to do so.

How it Works

This helps to prevent damage to the optic nerve and reduce the risk of vision loss associated with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
