About Brinzox Opthalmic Suspension

BRINZOLAMIDE belongs to a class of anti-glaucoma agents called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors primarily used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

BRINZOLAMIDE contains Brinzolamide that works by inhibiting the action of carbonic anhydrase enzyme and decreasing bicarbonate production essential for the production of fluid of the eye (aqueous humour).  Thus it reduces the secretion of eyes fluid called 'aqueous humour' that maintains pressure in the eyeball and in turn lowers the raised pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball. Thus, BRINZOLAMIDE prevents eyes from getting blind in the conditions of open-angle type glaucoma and ocular hypertension. 

Uses of Brinzox Opthalmic Suspension

Glaucoma (open-angle type), Ocular hypertension (high eye pressure)

Medicinal Benefits of Brinzox Opthalmic Suspension

BRINZOLAMIDE contains Brinzolamide used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions such as glaucoma (damage of optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye). BRINZOLAMIDE inhibits the action of carbonic anhydrase enzyme and decreases bicarbonate production that is essential for the production of aqueous humour.  Thereby, it reduces the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) and lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.

Directions for Use

Use BRINZOLAMIDE as prescribed by a doctor. Apply one drop of BRINZOLAMIDE in the morning and the night in the affected eye. Your doctor will advise you how many drops to instil based on your medical condition. Please do not touch the container tip to the eye, eyelids or surrounding areas as it may contaminate BRINZOLAMIDE and cause eye infections.
