Brimonidine + Stabilized Oxychloro

Introduction

Brimonidine + Stabilized Oxychloro is a combination eye drop used primarily to treat elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Brimonidine works by decreasing fluid production and increasing fluid drainage in the eye, thus lowering the pressure. Stabilized Oxychloro is a preservative that keeps the formulation sterile without causing harm to sensitive eyes. This combination offers effective pressure control and is generally well-tolerated in long-term use.

Uses of Brimonidine + Stabilized Oxychloro

• Treatment of open-angle glaucoma
