Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop

Introduction

Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop contains Brimonidine (1.5mg), a medication used to manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP can cause damage to the optic nerve and lead to permanent vision loss if untreated. Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop helps control eye pressure effectively, providing patients with a reliable treatment to protect the optic nerve and maintain vision in the long term.

Uses of Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop

Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop is used for:

• Reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
• Managing ocular hypertension to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision.
• Offering long-term control of eye pressure to avoid complications like vision loss.

How Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop works

Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop works by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the eye.

By lowering eye pressure, Brimed 0.2% Eye Drop helps to protect the optic nerve and prevent the loss of vision caused by glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
