Combigan Ophthalmic Solution 5ml is a combination medicine indicated for lowering the elevated intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes damage to the optic nerve and results in reduced vision. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Combigan Ophthalmic Solution 5ml is a combination of three drugs, namely: Brimonidine tartrate (alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists), Timolol (beta-blocker), and Benzalkonium chloride (preservative). Brimonidine tartrate and timolol decrease the production of aqueous humour and increase the amount of fluid that is drained. Benzalkonium chloride acts as a preservative. Together, Combigan Ophthalmic Solution 5ml helps lower the increased pressure in the eye.

Combigan Ophthalmic Solution 5ml is for ophthalmic only. You are advised to use Combigan Ophthalmic Solution 5ml for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition.
