BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML

Question 1

How does BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML work?

Accepted Answer

BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML 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 BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML?

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 BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML, 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.

Question 3

Can I wear contact lenses while using BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML?

Accepted Answer

No, you are not recommended to wear contact lenses while using BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML as it contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that changes the colour of the contact lens as it may be absorbed by a soft contact lens. Benzalkonium chloride also causes irritation in the eye especially if you have disorders of the cornea (transparent layer at the front of the eye) or dry eyes. Therefore, you are advised to remove contact lenses before applying BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML and reinsert after 15 minutes of using BRINZAGAN 1% SUSPENSION 5ML.
