Description

Brimonol (Brimonidine Tartrate Ophthalmic Solution 0.2%) is a prescription eye drop used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It belongs to the class of medications known as alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, which help lower eye pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor and increasing its drainage from the eye. Regular use of Brimonol can help protect the optic nerve from damage caused by high eye pressure, reducing the risk of vision loss associated with glaucoma.
