• Look up and away from the dropper, then squeeze one drop into the pocket.

• Close your eyes gently for 2-5 minutes while pressing the inner corner of your eye.

• Replace the cap immediately after use.

Alfabet 0.5/0.2% Eye Drop 5 ML are instilled topically.

Alfabet 0.5/0.2% Eye Drop 5 ML contains two active ingredients:

• Brimonidine (0.2%): This component is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that works in two ways in the eye. It reduces the production of aqueous humour (the clear fluid inside your eye) and also increases the outflow of this fluid through a route called the uveoscleral pathway. These actions help lower the pressure inside your eye.

• Timolol (0.5%): As a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker, timolol reduces the production of aqueous humour in your eye. It blocks certain receptors in the eye tissue that are responsible for fluid production, resulting in less fluid being made and therefore lower eye pressure.

• Store Alfabet 0.5/0.2% Eye Drop 5 ML at room temperature.

• Protect the bottle from light.

• Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.

• Do not use if the solution appears cloudy or discoloured.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the bottle.

• Maintain regular eye check-ups: Regular monitoring of your eye pressure is essential for managing glaucoma or ocular hypertension effectively alongside using Alfabet 0.5/0.2% Eye Drop 5 ML.

• Avoid caffeine: Reducing caffeine intake may help maintain stable eye pressure, as some studies suggest caffeine can temporarily increase intraocular pressure.
