How BRIMOPRESS T EYE DROPS Works
BRIMOPRESS T EYE DROPS helps to lower eye pressure due to glaucoma and intraocular hypertension, where Brimonidine works by allowing better fluid drainage from the eye resulting in reduced pressure in the eye and Timolol works by decreasing the amount of fluid formed in the eye which results in reduced intraocular pressure in the eye thereby managing glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
