Are you Looking to Buy Combigan (Brimonidine Tartrate/Timolol Maleate) from PrescriptionPoint.

Combigan (brimonidine tartrate and timolol maleate)

Indications

Combigan is indicated for:

• Glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension 

Dosage and Administration

• Use Combigan exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
• Apply one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.
• Wash your hands thoroughly before using the eye drops.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and apply one drop into the pocket.
• Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes after application to allow the medication to be absorbed.
• Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, or skip it if it’s almost time for your next dose.
• Do not use other eye medications unless your healthcare provider advises you to.
• Do not use Combigan if it has expired or if the solution has changed color.

Mechanism of Action

Combigan combines two medicines: Brimonidine tartrate and Timolol maleate. Brimonidine tartrate helps reduce the fluid in the eye and increases fluid drainage. Timolol maleate also helps reduce the fluid in the eye. Together, they lower the pressure inside the eye.
