Azarga Eye Drops 5 ml
- It is a medication used to treat certain types of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
- It is a combination of two active ingredients: brinzolamide and timolol maleate.
- Brinzolamide belongs to a class of drugs called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
- It works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye, which helps lower intraocular pressure (IOP).
- Timolol maleate is a beta-blocker that also helps to lower IOP by reducing the amount of fluid produced in the eye and increasing its outflow.
- Azarga Eye Drops are typically prescribed when other medications to control intraocular pressure have not been effective on their own.
- By combining the two active ingredients, Azarga Eye Drops provide a dual mechanism of action to help reduce IOP.
- It's important to follow your doctor's instructions on how to use Azarga Eye Drops.
- Typically, the recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily.
- Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
- Squeeze the prescribed number of drops into the pocket and then close your eye(s) gently.
- Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface, including your eye, to prevent contamination.
- As with any medication, Azarga Eye Drops may cause side effects. Common side effects include eye irritation, redness, itching, and blurred vision.
- If you experience severe or persistent side effects, or if you have any concerns, it's important to contact your doctor.
- Remember to inform your doctor about any other medications or medical conditions you have before starting Azarga Eye Drops, as they can interact with other drugs or exacerbate certain conditions.
