Brimo Eye Drop 0.20% contains Brimonidine Tartrate, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist formulated for ophthalmic use to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It is primarily indicated for patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing aqueous humor production and enhancing uveoscleral outflow, Brimo helps prevent optic nerve damage and preserves vision.
The topical application ensures localized effect with minimal systemic absorption, making it suitable for long-term management of elevated IOP. Its once or twice daily dosing supports adherence and effective control of glaucoma progression.
