COMBIGAN® (brimonidine tartrate/timolol maleate ophthalmic solution) 0.2%/0.5% is used for the reduction of high eye pressure, also called intraocular pressure (IOP), in patients with glaucoma who require additional (or adjunctive) IOP-lowering therapy. COMBIGAN® lowers IOP slightly less than taking both brimonidine tartrate 3 times a day and timolol maleate 2 times a day.
Avoid allowing the tip of the dispensing bottle to touch the eye, anything around the eye, fingers, or any other surface to avoid contamination by common bacteria known to cause eye infections (bacterial keratitis). Using contaminated solutions can cause serious damage to the eye and loss of vision. Always replace the cap after using. Do not use after the expiration date marked on the bottle or if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy.
If you have eye surgery, eye trauma or infection, or develop any eye reactions, immediately consult with your physician about continuing the use of COMBIGAN® 0.2%/0.5%.
If you use more than one drug in the eye, be sure to wait at least 5 minutes between each drug application.
COMBIGAN® 0.2%/0.5% contains an ingredient that may be absorbed by and cause discoloration of soft contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using COMBIGAN® 0.2%/0.5%. Then wait 15 minutes after using COMBIGAN® 0.2%/0.5% before you put your contacts back into your eyes.
As with other similar medications, COMBIGAN® 0.2%/0.5% may cause fatigue and/or drowsiness in some patients. Patients who engage in hazardous activities should be aware of the potential for a decrease in mental alertness.
The most common side effects (5%-15%) in the clinical trial include allergic eye reaction, inflammation of the conjunctiva (“pink eye”), eye redness, itchy eye, eye burning, and stinging sensations. These are not all of the possible side effects with COMBIGAN® 0.2%/0.5%. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
