What is COMBIGAN?

COMBIGAN contains combination of Brimonidine and Timolol Eye Drops which is used to control glaucoma (high pressure in the eye)
Brimonidine belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists
Timolol belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers
It works by reducing the production of liquid and increasing the amount of liquid that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye whilst continuing to feed the eye

COMBIGAN is prescribed to reduce high pressure in the eye when beta-blocker eye drops used alone are not enough
