About Brimocom PF Eye Drops 10 ml
Brimocom PF Eye Drops 10 ml is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and (ocular hypertension) high pressure in the eyes. Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged. It's usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye.
Brimocom PF Eye Drops 10 ml is a combination of two medicines, namely Brimonidine and Timolol. Brimonidine is a sympathomimetic drug, an agent that mimics the responses of sympathetic nerves. It acts by narrowing the blood vessels that reduce the flow of aqueous humour. Timolol belongs to a class of anti-hypertensive drugs called 'beta-blockers' primarily used to treat increased pressure in the eye. It decreases the secretion of aqueous humour by acting on ciliary body in the eye, thereby causing a decrease in the eye pressure.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged. It's usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it's not diagnosed and treated early.
Open-angle glaucoma is a life-long condition and the most common type of glaucoma. It is caused by the clogging of drainage angle between iris and cornea leads to the blockage of eye fluid and increases eye pressure.
Ocular hypertension is the build-up of pressure in the eye, caused by poor drainage of the aqueous humour (fluid inside the eye that maintains normal pressure).
