About Azarga Eye Drop

BRINZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL 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).

BRINZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL is a combination of two drugs, namely Brinzolamide (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) and Timolol (beta-blocker). BRINZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL 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.
