Glaucoma rarely announces itself. There is usually no pain and no redness, and by the time vision starts to narrow, some damage may already be done. That is why many people with raised eye pressure stay on drops for years and why the right drop matters. Brimokast combines two medicines that lower eye pressure in different ways. This page explains what it contains, what it is used for, how it works, how to use it safely and how distributors can add it to an ophthalmic range.
Brimokast is the brand name. The generic names are brimonidine and timolol eye drops. Each millilitre contains Brimonidine Tartrate I.P. 0.2% w/v and Timolol Maleate 0.5% w/v as an ophthalmic solution, supplied in a 5 ml bottle.
Putting two medicines in one bottle means one drop does the work of two. The drops are meant for use in the eyes only and are used on a doctor’s prescription, after an eye examination and a pressure check.
This combination is used to lower raised pressure inside the eye. A doctor may prescribe it for open-angle glaucoma and for ocular hypertension, where the eye pressure is higher than normal even before damage is seen. It is commonly chosen when a single pressure-lowering drop has not brought the pressure down enough so that two medicines are needed.
It is a long-term treatment that controls pressure and does not cure glaucoma. It also does not treat eye allergy or infection. Regular check-ups with an eye doctor are an important part of the treatment.
The main benefit is better control of eye pressure, which helps protect the optic nerve from further damage. Because both medicines are in one bottle, there are fewer bottles to carry and fewer drops to put in, which makes it easier to follow the routine. For people who have to use drops every day for years, that simplicity makes a real difference.
The drops do not restore vision that has already been lost. Their job is to keep the pressure under control so that the remaining vision stays safe, and the result is checked by regular eye tests.
The eye makes a clear fluid that flows in and out all day. When the fluid builds up faster than it drains, pressure rises. Timolol is a beta blocker, and it lowers pressure by reducing how much fluid the eye makes. Brimonidine works on alpha-2 receptors. It also reduces the amount of fluid made, and in addition, it helps the fluid drain out through a secondary pathway. Together, the two actions bring the pressure down more than either medicine would on its own.
Use the drops exactly as your eye doctor or pharmacist advises and follow the directions on the label. How many drops, how often and for how long depends on your eye pressure and condition, so no fixed dose should be assumed. Do not stop the drops suddenly or change the schedule without speaking to your doctor, even if your eyes feel fine.
Wash your hands first. Tilt your head back, gently pull the lower eyelid down to form a small pocket, and let one drop fall into it without letting the tip touch the eye, eyelid or fingers. Close your eyes gently for a minute or two and press lightly at the inner corner to help keep the medicine in the eye and reduce how much reaches the rest of the body. If you use other eye drops, leave about five minutes between them, or as your doctor advises.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait the time stated on the label or advised by your doctor before putting them back. Close the bottle tightly after use, store it as directed and keep it out of children’s reach.
Most people manage these drops well, but side effects can happen. In the eyes, the common ones are redness, burning or stinging, itching, dryness, a feeling that something is in the eye and blurred vision for a short time after use. Some people also feel tired or drowsy, have a dry mouth or get a headache.
Because some of the medicine can reach the rest of the body, timolol may slow the heartbeat or lower blood pressure, and it can make breathing harder in some people. Contact a doctor if you feel dizzy or faint, notice a very slow or irregular heartbeat, wheeze or have trouble breathing, or if the eye becomes very red, swollen or painful, or vision changes. Stop the drops and get urgent help for signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, swelling of the face or breathing trouble.
Do not use this combination if you are allergic to brimonidine, timolol or any ingredient in the bottle. It is not suitable for people with asthma or other serious breathing problems such as severe chronic obstructive lung disease, with a very slow heartbeat, certain heart rhythm blocks or heart failure. Tell your doctor if you have any heart, lung, circulation or thyroid problem, or diabetes, because timolol can hide some warning signs such as a fast heartbeat or low blood sugar. It also needs care in people with myasthenia gravis or low blood pressure.
Brimonidine can cause serious breathing problems and drowsiness in babies and young children, so it should not be used in infants, and in children it should be used only if a doctor decides. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use it only if the doctor thinks it is necessary. Older adults should use it under medical guidance.
Tell your doctor about every medicine you take, especially tablets for blood pressure or heart problems, other beta blockers, medicines for depression such as MAO inhibitors, sedatives and sleeping tablets, and some antidepressants. These can add to the effects or cause problems. Because the drops can cause blurred vision or drowsiness, be careful about driving until you know how they affect you.
