Product details
Alphagan P balances the product line with a 0.15% concentration of the active ingredient, using a specialized, gentle preservative system to ensure strong pressure control with improved surface tolerance.
Alphagan P Ophthalmic Solution 0.15% (5 ml) – Product Description
Take dependable control of elevated intraocular pressure with Alphagan P Eye Drops, a premium prescription formulation by AbbVie. Specifically engineered for patients requiring long-term care for open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, Alphagan P provides a balanced 0.15% Brimonidine Tartrate dosage. By incorporating a dual-action fluid control mechanism alongside a specialized, gentle preservative system, these drops deliver targeted pressure management while remaining highly gentle on the sensitive outer tissues of the eye. Consistent everyday use helps stop high fluid spikes, actively shielding the optic nerve from progressive deterioration to protect long-term vision.
Active Ingredients & Composition
According to the visible text on the side label, each ml contains:
- Brimonidine Tartrate IP (1.5 mg / 0.15% w/v): An alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that decreases intraocular pressure (IOP) by reducing fluid production and accelerating natural fluid drainage.
- Stabilized Oxychloro Complex (0.005% w/v): A specialized preservative system that breaks down into natural tear components (water and sodium chloride) upon contact with light on the eye surface, significantly minimizing irritation.
Key Benefits
- Balanced 0.15% Formula: Offers a highly calibrated concentration to reliably stabilize internal intraocular pressure (IOP).
- Dual-Action Dynamics: Lowers overall fluid (aqueous humor) production inside the ciliary body while actively boosting alternative drainage channels.
- Gentle Surface Preservative: Formulated with a stabilized oxychloro complex that breaks down on contact, reducing chemical stings, surface redness, and allergy risks.
- Essential Nerve Defense: Smooths out pressure spikes to limit mechanical stress on the optic nerve and preserve your visual fields.
Directions for Use
- Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before handling the bottle.
- Tilt your head back slightly, look upward, and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
- Invert the dropper bottle and squeeze exactly one drop into the pocket. Do not let the tip touch your eye, hands, or any external surface to prevent microbial contamination.
- Close your eye softly and apply gentle pressure with a clean finger to the inner corner of your eye (near your nose) for 1 to 2 minutes to minimize systemic absorption.
- Contact Lens Users: Remove lenses before instilling the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Critical Safety Warnings & Precautions
- Prescription Only (Rx): This medication must only be used under the direct care and regular evaluation of an ophthalmologist or eye specialist.
- Strict Age Limitation: This formulation is strictly contraindicated for use in infants and children under 2 years of age due to the serious risk of central nervous system depression.
- Drug Interactions: Consult your physician before use if you take monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, or medications that impact central nervous system functions.
- Temporary Vision Shifts: Mild stinging or brief blurred vision may manifest immediately after application. Refrain from driving or operating machinery until your vision clears completely.
- Multi-Drop Protocol: If utilizing other eye medications, separate application times by a minimum interval of 10 minutes to prevent drug washout.
- Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Discard the bottle completely 4 weeks after opening.
