BRIMOLOL EYE DROPS (BRIMONIDINE TARTRATE 0.15% W/V + TIMOLOL MALEATE 0.5% W/V): Comprehensive Guide and Benefits
Introduction to BRIMOLOL EYE DROPS
BRIMOLOL: Dual-Action Antiglaucoma Eye Drops for Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension
BRIMOLOL EYE DROPS contain Brimonidine Tartrate 0.15% w/v (1.5 mg/ml) + Timolol Maleate 0.5% w/v (5 mg/ml), a combination Antiglaucoma Medicine belonging to the Alpha-2 Adrenergic Agonist + Beta-Blocker Drug Class. It is prescribed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, particularly when monotherapy does not provide adequate pressure control.
Brimonidine decreases aqueous humour production and increases uveoscleral outflow, while Timolol reduces aqueous humour formation by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body. Together, they provide complementary mechanisms to effectively lower intraocular pressure and help protect the optic nerve from pressure-related damage.
BRIMOLOL EYE DROPS are supplied as 1 bottle containing 5ml ophthalmic solution and should be used only under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.

How BRIMOLOL EYE DROPS Work
Mechanism of Action
BRIMOLOL works through the complementary action of its two active ingredients.
Brimonidine Tartrate
Stimulates alpha-2 adrenergic receptors.
Reduces aqueous humour production.
Increases uveoscleral outflow.
Timolol Maleate
Blocks beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body.
Reduces aqueous humour production.
Lowers intraocular pressure.
Together, these actions effectively reduce eye pressure and help slow the progression of glaucoma.
