BrimoPres Eye Drop combines Brimonidine Tartrate 0.2%, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, with Timolol Maleate 0.5%, a non-selective beta-blocker, to provide dual-action management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This fixed-dose combination works synergistically to lower IOP by both decreasing aqueous humor production and enhancing fluid outflow, offering effective long-term protection for the optic nerve.
The combination therapy is ideal for patients who require more than one mechanism to control IOP, reducing the number of eye drops needed and improving adherence to treatment.

Key Benefits
-
Effectively reduces elevated intraocular pressure through dual mechanisms
-
Protects the optic nerve and helps prevent vision loss
-
Reduces the number of daily doses compared to separate therapy
-
Convenient combination therapy for long-term glaucoma management
-
Topical application ensures localized effect with minimal systemic exposure
Indications
BrimoPres Eye Drop 0.2% + 0.5% is indicated for:
-
Open-angle glaucoma
-
Ocular hypertension
-
Patients requiring dual therapy to achieve optimal intraocular pressure control
Mechanism of Action
-
Brimonidine Tartrate (0.2%): Activates alpha-2 adrenergic receptors to reduce aqueous humor production and increase uveoscleral outflow.
-
Timolol Maleate (0.5%): Non-selective beta-blocker that reduces aqueous humor production by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body.
-
The combination provides additive IOP-lowering effects, improving efficacy and reducing the risk of optic nerve damage.
