About Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml

Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml is used to treat increased pressure in eye conditions, such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye.

Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brinzolamide, which works by blocking an enzyme that makes eye fluid. This reduces the amount of fluid (aqueous humour) in the eye, which lowers the pressure inside the eyeball and helps protect vision.

In some cases, you may experience eye discharge, redness, itching, irritation or pain in the eyes, blurred vision, abnormal eye sensation and dry eyes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

If you are allergic to Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. You are not advised to use Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have severe kidney problems or hyperchloraemic acidosis (excessive acidity in the blood).

Medicinal Benefits

  • Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brinzolamide, which is used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions such as glaucoma (damage of the optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye).
  • It reduces the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) and lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.

  • It slows the progression of vision loss in glaucoma and related conditions.
  • It eases discomfort by lowering the strain linked to raised eye pressure.

How Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml Works

Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brinzolamide, which works by inhibiting the action of carbonic anhydrase enzyme and decreasing bicarbonate production, which is essential for the production of fluid in the eye (aqueous humour). Thus, it reduces the secretion of eye fluid called 'aqueous humour' that maintains pressure in the eyeball and, in turn, lowers the raised pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball. Thus, Brinmide Eye Drops 5 ml prevents eyes from getting blind in the conditions of open-angle type glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
