Medicine Description azgoclatens 5ml
azgoclatens 5ml eye drops is a medication that combines Brimonidine and Timolol, both of which work synergistically to lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Brimonidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that primarily functions by decreasing the production of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure. Furthermore, it also enhances the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral pathway. On the other hand, Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist that primarily works by inhibiting the production of aqueous humor from the ciliary body, which contributes to lowering intraocular pressure. Together, these two active ingredients provide a comprehensive approach to managing elevated eye pressure, making azgoclatens a valuable option in ocular pharmacotherapy.
