Benozol PF Suspension 1% contains Brinzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor formulated as a preservative-free ophthalmic suspension. It is specifically designed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The preservative-free formulation is ideal for individuals with sensitive eyes or those requiring long-term therapy, as it minimizes the risk of ocular irritation and allergic reactions.
Benozol PF effectively lowers IOP, helping to protect the optic nerve, prevent vision loss, and manage progressive glaucoma. It can be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antiglaucoma agents for optimal IOP control.

Key Benefits
-
Reduces elevated intraocular pressure
-
Protects the optic nerve from pressure-related damage
-
Preservative-free formulation reduces risk of irritation
-

Indications
Benozol PF Suspension is indicated for:
-
Open-angle glaucoma
-
Ocular hypertension
-
Patients with sensitivity to preservatives in eye drops

Mechanism of Action
Brinzolamide inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary body of the eye. This reduces the formation of aqueous humor, lowering intraocular pressure and relieving stress on the optic nerve. By maintaining optimal IOP, it helps prevent glaucoma progression and preserves vision.
