Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml

Question 1

How does Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml work?

Accepted Answer

Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml contains Brinzolamide that works by inhibiting the action of carbonic anhydrase enzyme and decreases bicarbonate production that is essential for the production of aqueous humour.  Thereby, it reduces the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) and lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.

Question 2

How to use Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml?

Accepted Answer

You are recommended to wash your hands first and tilt your head back and gently pull the lower eyelid downwards. Then, press the bottom of the bottle gently by holding it upside down to instil one drop into the affected eye without touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or surrounding areas in order to avoid contamination. Finally, replace the cap tightly after use. After applying Brinolar 1% Eye Drops 5 ml, you are advised to apply to the corner of the eye by pressing a finger to stop eye drops from spreading into the rest of the body.
