Brimonidine
Uses
Brimonidine is used for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
How it Works
How Brimonidine works: Brimonidine is a sympathomimetic agent. It functions by reducing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye), thereby lowering elevated intraocular pressure.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Brimonidine include erythema (skin redness), blurred vision, dryness in the mouth, burning sensation in the eye, stinging in the eyes, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), headache, fatigue, and corneal staining.
Expert Advice
- Brimonidine helps lower elevated intraocular pressure and reduces the risk of vision loss.
- For optimal results, instill one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s).
- Apply gentle pressure on the inner corner of the eye (near the nose) for approximately 1 minute immediately after administering the drop.
- Remove contact lenses before using Brimonidine and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them.
- Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface or your eye to prevent contamination of the eye drops.
- Wait at least 5-10 minutes before applying the next medication in the same eye to prevent dilution.
- Short-term blurring of vision may occur upon initial use; exercise caution when driving or operating machinery.
- Temporary burning or itching sensations in the eye may occur; inform your doctor if these symptoms persist.
- Ensure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
