Treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who require additional intraocular pressure reduction.
Combines an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist (brimonidine) with a beta-blocker (timolol). Both agents reduce aqueous humor production in the eye, providing greater intraocular pressure reduction than either component alone.
For ophthalmic use only. May cause side effects such as eye irritation, dry mouth, blurred vision, or fatigue. Systemic absorption can occur; inform your doctor of any respiratory conditions, heart conditions, or depression before use. Wait at least 5 minutes between applying different eye medications.
