Simbrinza Eye Drop 5ml
Product details
Active Ingredients & Composition
- Brinzolamide IP (10 mg / 1% w/v): A potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that restricts the biological secretion of fluid inside the ciliary body.
- Brimonidine Tartrate IP (2 mg / 0.2% w/v): An alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that decreases fluid production while simultaneously improving standard fluid drainage channels out of the eye.
- Benzalkonium Chloride IP (0.03 mg / 0.003% w/v): Serves as the active antimicrobial preservative system.
Key Benefits
- Advanced Synergistic Therapy: Combines a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and an alpha-2 agonist into a single drop, eliminating the need for separate bottles.
- Dual Fluid Regulation: Decreases overall aqueous humor secretion while expanding alternative drainage channels (uveoscleral outflow).
- Optic Nerve Protection: Sustains stable, round-the-clock pressure levels to halt the progressive degradation typical of glaucoma.
- Refined Suspension Base: Formulated to ensure prolonged, uniform retention on the ocular surface for maximized therapeutic uptake.
Directions for Use
- Clean your hands thoroughly with soap and water before opening the product.
- Shake well before use: Because Simbrinza is a suspension, the bottle must be shaken vigorously to guarantee the active medicinal microparticles are evenly mixed. []
- Tilt your head back slightly, look upward, and gently pull down your lower eyelid to generate a small pocket.
- Invert the bottle and squeeze exactly one drop into the generated pocket. Do not let the tip touch your eye, eyelid, hands, or any external surface to avoid microbial contamination.
- Close your eye gently and press the inner corner of your eye (near your nose) with a clean finger for 1 to 2 minutes to minimize systemic medication absorption.
- If wearing contact lenses: Always remove them before applying the drops and wait a minimum of 15 minutes before reinserting.
Critical Safety Warnings & Precautions
- Prescription Only (Rx): This medication must only be used under the direct guidance and regular monitoring of an ophthalmologist or eye care specialist.
- Sulfonamide Allergy Warning: Brinzolamide is a sulfonamide compound. Do not use this product if you have a known history of severe allergy to sulfa medications.
- Strict Age Contradiction: 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.
- Systemic Health Warning: Use with extreme caution if you have a history of severe kidney or liver impairment, severe cardiovascular disease, or mental depression.
- Temporary Vision Shifts: Mild stinging, transient redness, or brief blurred vision may happen immediately after instillation. Refrain from driving or operating machinery until your vision clears completely.
- Multi-Medication Rule: If you are using other eye medications, separate their application times by a minimum interval of 10 to 15 minutes to avoid drug washout.
- Storage Protocol: Store at a controlled room temperature away from direct freezing or intense heat. Keep out of reach of children. Discard the bottle completely 4 weeks after opening.
