Brivex Eye Drops 5 ml is indicated for lowering high intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve and results in reduced vision. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow). 
 
Brivex Eye Drops 5 ml is a combination of two drugs: Brinzolamide (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) and Brimonidine (alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist). Brivex Eye Drops 5 ml decreases the production of aqueous humour, thereby helping lower the increased pressure in the eye. 
 
In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as blurred vision, eye redness, discomfort, drowsiness and bad taste in the mouth. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Brivex Eye Drops 5 ml is not recommended for children below 18 years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Brivex Eye Drops 5 ml might cause dizziness, drowsiness, and abnormal/blurred vision, so drive only if you have clear vision. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper as it may contaminate the contents.
