Benzalkonium Chloride + Brimonidine + Timolol

Uses of Benzalkonium Chloride + Brimonidine + Timolol

  • Benzalkonium Chloride + Brimonidine + Timolol is mainly used for managing elevated intraocular pressure associated with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It belongs to the group of glaucoma medications.

Side effects of Benzalkonium Chloride + Brimonidine + Timolol

  • Eye irritation (redness, burning, stinging, itching)

  • Dryness of the eyes or mouth

  • Fatigue or drowsiness

  • Blurred vision

  • Unusual taste in the mouth

How Benzalkonium Chloride + Brimonidine + Timolol works

  • Benzalkonium Chloride + Brimonidine + Timolol is an intraocular pressure-lowering ophthalmic combination.

  • Benzalkonium Chloride acts as an antimicrobial preservative in this combination. It ensures that the solution remains sterile for safe use.

  • Brimonidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist. It binds to alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the eye, which reduces the formation of aqueous humour and increases its outflow. Aqueous humour is a clear fluid in the front of the eye, and its increased outflow helps lower the pressure within the eye.

  • Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent. It works by slowing down the production of aqueous humour, further helping to decrease intraocular pressure.

  • Together, these three components work in synergy to manage conditions like open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension by effectively lowering intraocular pressure.
