About Betafree Eye Drop 5 ml
Betafree Eye Drop 5 ml is indicated for lowering high intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve and results in reduced vision. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye.
Betafree Eye Drop 5 ml contains Brinzolamide and Brimonidine, which decrease the production of aqueous humour, thereby helping lower the increased pressure in the eye.
This medicine may cause side effects such as blurred vision, eye redness, discomfort, drowsiness and bad taste in the mouth. Talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Betafree Eye Drop 5 ml might cause dizziness, drowsiness, and abnormal/blurred vision, so drive only if you have clear vision.
