Medicine Description alfabrimo-plus
Alfabrimo Plus eye drops are used to lower high intraocular pressure (IOP) in cases of glaucoma. This is because they contain the active ingredients brimonidine tartrate and timolol.
They also treat glaucoma by reducing fluid production within the eye, thus protecting the optic nerve from damage. They are used in cases requiring stronger IOP control when a single medication is insufficient.
