Brimonidine is used for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (increased pressure inside the eye).

How it works

Timolol belongs to a beta-blockers class of medication. It relaxes the blood vessels and reduced blood pressure. It makes the heart relax and pump blood at a slower rate for heart attack patients. In the eye, it decreases fluid production and thus decreases pressure. Brimonidine belongs to the group of medicines called sympathomimetics. It reduces the amount of fluid in the eye and thus reduces eye pressure.
