Alphagan Details (Brand and Generic)

CanadaPharmacyOnline.com currently offers the brand version of Alphagan Eye Drops manufactured by Allergan in Canada and India. The generic Brimonidine eye drop is manufactured by Sandoz or Apotex in Canada. Our Customers may also purchase other eye care medications such as Betoptic and Xalatan.

Dosage

Alphagan and generic Brimonidine are available in 0.2% ophthalmic solutions or eye drops, typically packaged in 5 ml bottles. Please refer to Medscape for more dosage information.

Usage

Alphagan eye drop (Brimonidine Tartrate) is a prescription medication to lower pressure inside the eye caused by open-angle glaucoma or ocular (eye) hypertension. The active ingredient, Brimonidine, belongs to a class of drugs called alpha adrenergic agonists. It lowers intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humor production and increasing uveoscleral outflow (source). Alphagan is not recommended for children under two due to the risk of severe breathing problems (source).

It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the prescribing information. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Alphagan ophthalmic solution may include blurred vision, dry mouth, drowsiness or tiredness, headache, itching or irritation, and mild eye redness (source).

Stop using Alphagan and seek medical help immediately if you experience allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, facial swelling, hives) or severe eye problems (burning, pain, swelling, discharge from the eyes, vision changes).
