Brimopress Eye Drop

Introduction

Brimopress Eye Drop contains Brimonidine (1.5mg), a medication designed to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if left untreated. By reducing the production of fluid in the eye and increasing its drainage, Brimopress Eye Drop helps maintain healthy eye pressure, preventing potential damage to the optic nerve and preserving vision in patients suffering from glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Uses of Brimopress Eye Drop

Brimopress 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.
• Providing long-term treatment for controlling eye pressure and preventing further complications.

How Brimopress Eye Drop works

Brimopress Eye Drop works by stimulating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the eye. This helps to reduce the production of aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye) while also increasing its drainage, resulting in a decrease in intraocular pressure. By lowering eye pressure, Brimopress prevents damage to the optic nerve and reduces the risk of vision loss caused by glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Benefits of Brimopress Eye Drop

• Effectively lowers intraocular pressure, preventing optic nerve damage.
• Helps preserve vision by controlling eye pressure in glaucoma patients.
• Non-invasive, easy-to-use solution for managing ocular hypertension.
• Supports long-term management of eye pressure and glaucoma.

Instill Brimopress Eye Drop as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily.

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as possible unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
