Alphagan P Drops 5 ml is an eye medication used to lower high pressure inside the eye. It is mainly prescribed for patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. These conditions can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss if untreated. The active ingredient, Brimonidine tartrate, reduces the fluid produced in the eye and thus lowers intraocular pressure. This helps prevent further damage and supports long-term eye health. It is used alone or in combination with other eye drops for more effective control.

How Alphagan P Drops works
Alphagan P Drops contains Brimonidine tartrate. It works by activating alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the eye. This reduces the production of aqueous humour, the fluid inside the eye. Less fluid production means less pressure on the optic nerve. The drops may also improve the outflow of fluid, adding to the pressure-lowering effect. The action begins within a few hours of use. Regular application helps maintain stable eye pressure. This reduces the risk of vision loss and supports overall eye health. Consistent use of it as prescribed is essential to effectively control eye pressure and prevent long-term vision damage.
