Simbrinza Eye Drops (Brimonidine and Brinzolamide)
What are Simbrinza Eye Drops?
Simbrinza contains the active ingredient Brimonidine which belongs to a class of medications called alpha-adrenergic agonists and Brinzolamide which is an carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
These eye drops are used to decrease pressure in the eyes of patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
How does the active ingredient Brimonidine and Brinzolamide work?
Brimonidine works by reducing the amount of fluid that you make in the front part of your eye (called aqueous humour) and by increasing the drainage of fluid from your eye. As a result pressure is lowered within your eye.
Brinzolamide is an carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme in the body which is called carbonic anhydrase. Carbonic anhydrase is usually responsible for the production of a salt called bicarbonate in the body. Bicarbonate is needed for the production of the aqueous humour. A decrease in the production of bicarbonate, in turn decreases the production of aqueous humour.
