Medicine Description alfabrimo 5ml
alfabrimo 5ml eye drops is a medication that contains Brimonidine Tartrate, which primarily acts as an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist. This action leads to a reduction in aqueous humor production and an increase in uveoscleral outflow, effectively lowering intraocular pressure. By stimulating alpha-2 receptors in the ciliary body, Brimonidine Tartrate decreases the secretion of fluid in the eye, while also enhancing the drainage pathways, thereby achieving a dual mechanism of action that is beneficial for managing conditions such as open-angle glaucoma.
