Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml is used to treat increased pressure in eye conditions. It contains Brinzolamide, which 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, it prevents eyes from getting blind in the conditions of open-angle type glaucoma and ocular hypertension. In some cases, you may experience side effects such as eye discharge, redness, itching, irritation or pain in the eyes, blurred vision, abnormal eye sensation and dry eyes. Before using this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml

Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml is used to treat increased pressure in eye conditions. 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).

Brinolar 1% 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, Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml prevents eyes from getting blind in the conditions of open-angle type glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
