Medical Description

Combigan Ophthalmic solution is a combination of Brominidine and Timolol. It is used to lower the pressure built within the eye (ocular hypertension) and chronic glaucoma. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid-filled in the eye) which further lowers the eye pressure.

It should not be used in children below 2 years of age. Combigan Ophthalmic solution should be used externally only. Avoid the use of contact lenses. Avoid touching the dropper with your eye. Inform your doctor if you have a heart or respiratory condition and are on other medications as well. You may experience eye irritation, burning sensation, dryness, and blurred vision. If these symptoms do not resolve or worsen, consult with your doctor.
