Arrow-Brimonidine Eye Drops

Uses
Arrow-Brimonidine (Brimonidine Tartrate) is considered effective at treating open angle glaucoma and high pressure caused by fluid in the eye. These eye drops contain an active ingredient which is a type of alpha agonist, and it works by decreasing the formation of fluid in the eye. This leads to a drop in pressure in the eye, which helps to prevent damage to the nerves in the eyes or blindness.
