Betafree Eye Drop

How to use Betafree Eye Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

How Medicine Works

Betafree Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Brinzolamide and Brimonidine. Brinzolamide is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist while Brimonidine is a sympathomimetic. They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Expert Advice

• Betafree Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines that lowers high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss.
• Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop.
• If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before putting in these eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.
• Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
• Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
• It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines.
• It may cause temporary burning or itching sensation in the eye. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
