Alphagan Eyedrops (active ingredient: brimonidine) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Glaucoma: Alphagan is used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Alphagan Eyedrops belongs to a class of drugs known as alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, which works by decreasing the production of fluid inside the eye and increasing the drainage of fluid from the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure.

Use Alphagan eye drops as directed by a healthcare provider to avoid getting the medication in your mouth or touching the dropper tip to any surface. If you have any further questions about the use of Alphagan eye drops, you should consult with your healthcare provider directly.

To use Alphagan eye drops (Brimonidine):

  1. Wash your hands before handling the medication to avoid contamination.
  2. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the medication.
  3. Tilt your head back and look upward, then pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pouch.
  4. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and apply one drop of the solution into the pouch.
  5. If you need to use drops in both eyes, repeat steps 3 and 4 for your other eye.
  6. After using the medication, close your eyes for 1-2 minutes but do not blink or rub your eyes.
  7. To avoid draining out the medication, apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of your eye.
  8. Wait at least 15 minutes before putting in your contact lenses again.
  9. Do not rinse the dropper and replace the dropper cap after each use.

The usual recommended dose for adults is one drop of brimonidine 0.2% solution into the affected eye(s) twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart (e.g., in the morning and at bedtime).
