Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml

Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.

Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml is a combination of two medicines, namely Brimonidine and Timolol. Brimonidine narrows the blood vessels in the eye and reduces fluid in the eye. Timolol lowers eye pressure by reducing fluid (aqueous humour) made in the eye.

In some cases, Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml may cause certain common side effects such as itching, stinging sensation, foreign body sensation, burning sensation, redness, blurred vision, tiredness, drowsiness, headache, and dryness in the mouth. Talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

You should not use Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml without consulting your doctor if you have an eye infection or allergies. It is not recommended to use Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml during breastfeeding since Timolol can pass into breast milk. Check with your doctor before using Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml if you are pregnant or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines.

Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml is used in the treatment of Open-angle glaucoma and Ocular hypertension. The detailed uses of Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml are as follows:

• Treatment of Open-angle Glaucoma: Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml helps reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), slowing disease progression and preserving vision in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
• Treatment of Ocular Hypertension: Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml is used to lower IOP in patients with ocular hypertension, reducing the risk of developing glaucoma and managing symptoms.

• It is advised to use Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml twice daily; however, follow your doctor's recommendation regarding the dosage and duration.

• Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml effectively treats open-angle glaucoma and (ocular hypertension) high pressure in the eyes.
• Brimonidine is a sympathomimetic drug, an agent that mimics the responses of sympathetic nerves. It acts by narrowing the blood vessels that reduce the flow of aqueous humour.
• Timolol belongs to a class of anti-hypertensive drugs called 'beta-blockers' primarily used to treat increased pressure in the eye. It decreases the secretion of aqueous humour by the ciliary body in the eye, thereby causing a decrease in eye pressure.
• Protects the optic nerve from damage.
• Supports healthy eye function by controlling eye pressure.
• Improve overall visual comfort by reducing eye strain from high pressure.

• Before taking Duobrim-T Eye Drop 5 ml, let your doctor know if have a history of eye infection, allergies, closed-angle glaucoma, thyroid diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, depression, Raynaud's phenomenon (numbness in various parts of the body), and slow heartbeats that make you faint.
