Brinzolamide 10ML of 1%
What is Brinzolamide?
Brinzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used primarily in ophthalmology to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By inhibiting the carbonic anhydrase enzyme in the ciliary processes of the eye, Brinzolamide decreases aqueous humor production, thereby alleviating elevated pressure that can damage the optic nerve. It is typically administered in the form of an eye drop suspension for localized effect and minimal systemic absorption.Side Effects
