Brimocom Eye Drops 5ml

Brimocom Eye Drops are used for the following:

• Managing open-angle glaucoma: This condition results in increased pressure in your eyes due to a blockage in the eye's drainage system.

• Handling ocular hypertension: This is a condition where the pressure within your eyes is higher than normal, but without any visible changes in vision or damage to the optic nerves.

• Supplementing initial therapy in patients requiring more than 5 mmHg reduction in intraocular pressure: This is relevant when the pressure inside your eye is too high and needs to be significantly reduced.

Here's how you should use Brimocom Eye Drops :

• Always wash your hands before touching the eye drop bottle.

• Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down and squeeze out a drop.

• Close your eye and gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute, to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct.

• If you are using more than one drop in the same eye, wait at least 5 minutes before instilling the next drop.

• Consult your doctor for specific instructions.

Brimocom Eye Drops is instilled topically.

Brimocom Eye Drops contain two key active ingredients:

• Brimonidine (0.2%): As an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, brimonidine reduces the production of aqueous humour, a fluid in the eye, and increases its outflow. This function helps lower the IOP in your eye.

• Timolol (0.5%): Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker, which works by reducing the secretion of aqueous humour. This is likely achieved through reducing blood flow in the ciliary body, a part of the eye that produces the aqueous humour.

This combination of brimonidine and timolol offers a comprehensive approach towards lowering IOP, making the medicine highly effective for managing open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

• Store Brimocom Eye Drops at room temperature.

• Protect the product from exposure to light.

• Ensure it is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the package before use.

• If you're managing open-angle glaucoma, a diet rich in antioxidants, such as dark leafy greens and brightly coloured fruits, may be beneficial for your eye health.

• Incorporate moderate physical activity into your routine as it can help to improve blood flow to your eyes and potentially lower intraocular pressure. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
