Description:
Combigan Eye Drop is a prescription medication used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This combination eye drop contains two active ingredients, brimonidine and timolol, which work together to reduce eye pressure and manage symptoms effectively. The dual action of Combigan helps to control elevated IOP, which can reduce the risk of optic nerve damage and preserve vision.
