Alphagan P eye drops are used to treat high eye pressure caused by glaucoma. These drops help reduce the production of aqueous fluid inside the eye while simultaneously promoting the drainage of this fluid, effectively lowering internal pressure. Alphagan P contains brimonidine, but with an improved formula that reduces the irritation and sensitivity that can be caused by the regular type of medication. Therefore, it is suitable for long-term use.
Alphagan P is applied according to the doctor's instructions, usually two to three times a day. Hands should be washed before use and the tip of the bottle should not touch the eye to ensure the drop is clean and maintains its effectiveness. It is important to continue treatment and not stop using the drops suddenly except after consulting a doctor. This ensures control of eye pressure, maintains optic nerve health, and prevents complications of glaucoma.
