How Does It Work?

• Bidin T eye drops contain a combination of timolol and brimonidine as active substances.
• Brimonidine has the dual action of reducing the aqueous humor fluid (clear, watery liquid inside the eye) production and increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid.
• Timolol acts by decreasing the aqueous humor production, which helps in lowering the pressure within your eye.
