About Brintod 10 Eye Drop 5 ml
Brintod 10 Eye Drop 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.
Brintod 10 Eye Drop 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 Brintod 10 Eye Drop 5 ml or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Brintod 10 Eye Drop 5 ml is not recommended for children below 18 years of age. You are not advised to use Brintod 10 Eye Drop 5 ml if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have severe kidney problems or hyperchloraemic acidosis (excessive acidity in the blood).
