Introduction About BRIMOCOM EYE DROPS

BRIMOCOM EYE DROPS is a combination of Brimonidine and Timolol which belongs to the group of medicines called an Alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist and Beta-adrenergic receptor inhibitors respectively. BRIMOVAC T DROPS is used to reduce the elevated intraocular pressure (pressure inside the eye) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension who require adjunctive or replacement therapy due to inadequately managed intraocular pressure.

Glaucoma is a disease which damages the optic nerve (nerve in the back of eye) because of excessive pressure inside the eye and may gradually lead to blindness. Ocular hypertension is a condition when pressure inside the eye rises higher than normal. Such conditions are characterized by halos, pain and blurred vision.

How BRIMOCOM EYE DROPS Works

BRIMOCOM EYE DROPS helps to lower eye pressure due to glaucoma and intraocular hypertension, where Brimonidine works by allowing better fluid drainage from the eye resulting in reduced pressure in the eye and Timolol works by decreasing the amount of fluid formed in the eye which results in reduced intraocular pressure in the eye thereby managing glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

How to use BRIMOCOM EYE DROPS
