Brimopress Ls Eye Drops 5ml contain brimonidine (0.1%) which works in the following ways:

• Decreases aqueous humour production: Brimonidine activates specific receptors called alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in your eye, which reduces the amount of fluid (aqueous humour) produced by the ciliary body within your eye.

• Increases aqueous humour outflow: The medicine enhances the drainage of fluid from your eye through what doctors call the uveoscleral pathway, which is one of the natural drainage channels of the eye.

• Lowers intraocular pressure: Through both reducing fluid production and improving drainage, brimonidine effectively decreases the pressure inside your eye, helping to protect your optic nerve from damage.

• Store Brimopress Ls Eye Drops 5ml below 30°C at room temperature.

• Keep the bottle protected from light and moisture.

• Ensure the bottle remains tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Discard any unused solution 4 weeks after opening the bottle.

• Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the package.

• Regular eye check-ups: If you have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eye), schedule comprehensive eye examinations every 3-6 months to monitor your intraocular pressure.

• Avoid caffeine: Reducing your intake of coffee, tea, and caffeinated drinks may help manage intraocular pressure, which is important when you have glaucoma or eye hypertension.
