Brimonidine

Brimonidine is a medication often used to reduce eye pressure in conditions like glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by decreasing the amount of fluid produced in the eye and improving fluid drainage, which helps prevent damage to the optic nerve. Often prescribed as eye drops, it can also be used topically on the skin to treat redness. Brimonidine is generally well-tolerated, but it’s important to use it as directed and discuss any side effects or concerns with your healthcare provider. It helps protect vision by managing eye pressure and reducing redness effectively.
