About Brimo 2Mg Eye Drop

Brimo 2Mg Eye Drop effectively helps regulate eye pressure in individuals suffering from open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Known to act as an alpha-adrenergic agonist, the drug reduces the production of fluid in the eyes and consequently controls eye pressure.

The drug is not meant for consumption by individuals allergic to it, or children who are below the age of 2 years. To ensure safety of use, inform your health care provider about any medical problems you are suffering from, this includes heart problems, kidney as well as liver issues, depression, problems of blood vessels or hypotension. Also give him a list of medicines that you are currently taking. Women who are pregnant or lactating, should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using Brimo 2Mg Eye Drop, before they start treatment.

It is essential that you are aware of a few side effects that can occur when using Brimo 2Mg Eye Drop, for example, headache, blurry vision, conjunctivitis, stinging or burning sensation in the eyes and drowsiness. If these side effects continue for a long period of time, or become worse, get in touch with a doctor immediately.

The dosage prescribed will depend on the eye condition that is being treated and the age as well as overall health of the patient.
