About Tregmon Ophthalmic Suspension 5 ml

Tregmon Ophthalmic Suspension 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). 
 
Tregmon Ophthalmic Suspension 5 ml is a combination of two drugs: Brinzolamide (carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) and Brimonidine (alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist). Tregmon Ophthalmic Suspension 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. Tregmon Ophthalmic Suspension 5 ml is not recommended for children below 18 years as the safety and effectiveness have not been established. Tregmon Ophthalmic Suspension 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.

  • Cut down your coffee intake as it may increase pressure in the eye. Replace coffee with green tea.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Glaucoma: It is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. If it is not treated in time, it may cause blindness. Usually, there are no symptoms of glaucoma initially, except the slow loss of vision gradually. However, some symptoms include visible rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights or blurred vision. Rarely, glaucoma can develop suddenly with intense pain in the eye, visual disturbance or nausea.

Ocular hypertension: It is a condition caused by poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow). This leads to a build-up of excess fluid in the eye, resulting in increased pressure inside the eye without any damage to the optic nerve. If ocular hypertension is not controlled, it may lead to glaucoma.
