Brio Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to a class of anti-glaucoma agents called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors primarily 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).
Brio Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brinzolamide which works by inhibiting the action of carbonic anhydrase enzyme and decreasing bicarbonate production 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, Brio Eye Drops 5 ml prevents eyes from getting blind in the conditions of open-angle type glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
