What is Alphagan?

Alphagan and the generic alternative brimonidine are a type of eye drops used to treat high fluid pressure in the eye caused by glaucoma or other eye conditions. High fluid pressure in the eyes can lead to nerve damage, vision loss or blindness. Brimonidine is an alpha agonist which works by allowing better fluid drainage from within your eye and reducing the amount of fluid which is formed in the eye.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Wash your hands before applying Alphagan Eye Drops.
• Do not touch the tip of the dropper or let it touch any surface to avoid contamination.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Alphagan and wait at least 15 minutes before replacing them.
• Slightly tip your head backwards. Use your finger to pull down your lower eyelid, creating a small pocket. Look upwards and away from the dropper, before squeezing a drop directly into the eye.
• Close your eyes for between one and two minutes. Hold your finger to the inside corner of your eye in order to prevent the liquid from draining into your eye duct.
• If you are directed to use more than one drop, or if you use any other eye drops, wait at least five minutes between drops.
• Continue to use this medication even if you do not have symptoms.
