Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Effective IOP Reduction | Brimonidine is a potent hypotensive agent that lowers Intraocular Pressure (IOP) by modulating the $\alpha_2$ receptors in the eye, reducing fluid production and increasing drainage. |
| Dual Mechanism of Action | It provides enhanced efficacy by reducing aqueous humor production at the ciliary body and promoting uveoscleral outflow (fluid drainage) simultaneously. |
| Neuroprotective Potential | Evidence suggests that Brimonidine may possess properties that offer protection to the optic nerve, providing a benefit beyond just pressure lowering. |
| Versatile Therapy | Can be used effectively as a primary monotherapy or in combination with other IOP-lowering agents, such as beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogs. |
