Buy Simbrinza Opthalmic Suspension (Brinzolamide/Brimonidine) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Simbrinza Ophthalmic Suspension used for? 

This eye solution is used to help lower pressure in the eyes caused by glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Its active ingredients are brinzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and brimonidine tartrate, an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist.

Note that this eye medication helps prevent the risk of nerve damage, loss of vision, or blindness. 

How does Simbrinza Ophthalmic Suspension work? 

An imbalance between the inflow and outflow of aqueous humor happens when there is a rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). The imbalance in aqueous humor leads to high pressure inside the eye that can press against the optic nerve. Too much pressure in the eye can damage your optic nerve, and as a result, glaucoma develops.

When this eye medication is administered correctly, the active ingredients work for hand and hand in reducing pressure in the eyes. One component inhibits the carbonic anhydrase enzyme, responsible for sodium and fluid transport in your eyes. The mechanism of action of this medication reduces the secretion of aqueous humor, decreasing IOP.

Another effect of this drug is stimulating alpha receptors in the ciliary body. These receptors are responsible for releasing aqueous humor into the eye. The stimulation results in the constriction of the blood vessels to reduce aqueous humor, thereby lowering IOP.

The dosage and frequency of this ophthalmic solution are different for every individual. It generally depends on the patient’s health status, the severity of their eye condition, age, and response to medication. This drug is available in optic suspension with a strength of 1/0.2%.
