• Management of ocular hypertension: Duo-2 Eye Drops 5 ml lowers high pressure inside the eyes in patients without glaucoma but who are at risk, helping to reduce the likelihood of future optic nerve damage.

• Duo-2 Eye Drops 5 ml helps decrease high pressure inside the eyes, a major risk factor for optic nerve damage and vision loss in glaucoma.
• Brinzolamide (a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) works by reducing the formation of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye).
• Brimonidine (an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist) lowers IOP by decreasing fluid production and increasing fluid drainage.
