Brio T Eye Drop 5 ml

Brio T Eye Drop 5 ml belongs to a class of anti-glaucoma agents used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions such as glaucoma (damage of optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Brio T Eye Drop 5 ml is a combination of two drugs, namely Brinzolamide (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) and Timolol (beta-blocker). Brio T Eye Drop 5 ml works by decreasing the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) by the ciliary body into the eyeball and lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.

Drug-Drug Interaction: Inform your doctor if you are taking heart-related medicines (quinidine, amiodarone), antidepressants (paroxetine, fluoxetine), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (dorzolamide, acetazolamide), medicines for severe allergic reaction (adrenaline).

Drug-Food Interaction: No interactions found.

Drug-Disease Interaction: If you have dry eyes, cornea problems, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, atopy (a tendency to develop allergic reaction), Raynaud's disease or Raynaud's syndrome (poor blood circulation), diabetes, myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), kidney or liver problems, before taking Brio T Eye Drop 5 ml.

• QUINIDINE
• AMIODARONE
• PAROXETINE
• FLUOXETINE
• DORZOLAMIDE
• ACETAZOLAMIDE
• ADRENALINE

• Avoid intake of baked foods such as cakes, cookies, donuts, or fried items such as French fries and stick margarine as these foods may worsen glaucoma and damage the optic nerve.
• Cut down your coffee intake as it may increase pressure in the eye and replace coffee with green tea.
• Avoid exercises such as any position where the head is lower than the body like an inverted yoga pose as it may increase pressure in the eye. Doing selective exercises is advised for glaucoma patients.

You are recommended to avoid wearing contact lenses while using Brio T Eye Drop 5 ml as it may cause discolouration of soft contact lenses.

Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. If it is not treated in time, it may cause blindness. Usually, there are no symptoms of glaucoma initially except the slow loss of vision gradually. However, some symptoms include visible rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights or blurred vision. Rarely glaucoma can develop suddenly with intense pain in the eye, visual disturbance, or nausea. Ocular hypertension is a condition caused due to poor drainage of aqueous humor (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow). This leads to the build-up of excess fluid in the eye resulting in increased pressure inside the eye without any damage to the optic nerve. If ocular hypertension is not controlled, it may lead to glaucoma.
