Combigan Information

Combigan (Brimonidine/Timolol) is a prescription eye drop used primarily to lower intraocular pressure. This pressure, often called intraocular pressure, is often associated with conditions such as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Its active ingredients are brimonidine tartrate, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, and timolol maleate, a non-selective beta-blocker. This medication appears to work through a dual mechanism to lower internal eye pressure. Brimonidine seems to function by reducing fluid production in the eye and increasing its outflow. Timolol, on the other hand, focuses almost entirely on decreasing the amount of fluid the eye produces.

Glaucoma is a condition in which the fluid pressure inside the eye becomes high enough to eventually damage the optic nerve, which sends visual information to the brain. You can think of the eye like a sink where the faucet (fluid production) and the drain (outflow) need to be perfectly balanced to maintain the right pressure. In ocular hypertension or glaucoma, that balance is off-either the faucet is running too fast or the drain is slightly blocked. Combigan helps by essentially turning down the faucet from two angles, improving the drain's performance. By keeping this pressure within a normal range, the medication helps prevent damage to the optic nerve, which is the main way it protects your vision over time.
