Alphagan P Ophthalmic Solution

Alphagan P eye drops contain brimonidine, an alpha-2-adrenergic receptor agonist. This medication is used to manage intraocular pressure in patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Benefits

Alphagan P is prescribed to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, especially for those who cannot use beta-blocker eye drops. By lowering eye pressure, it helps prevent vision impairment.

How to Use

Administer one drop of Alphagan P in each eye three times daily, approximately eight hours apart. After application, close your eye for 30 seconds. If using other eye drops, wait at least five minutes between applications.

Possible Side Effects

• Red eye
• Itchy eyes
• Dry mouth
• Eyelid swelling
• Headache
• Runny nose
• Stinging of the eye

These may not be all the side effects.

Warnings and Precautions

Do not use Alphagan P if you are allergic to brimonidine tartrate or any other ingredients in the drops, or if you are undergoing monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, such as sedatives, alpha-agonists, beta-blockers, antihypertensives, cardiac glycosides, tricyclic antidepressants, and clonidine.

Storage

Store Alphagan P eye drops at room temperature and keep them out of the reach of children.
