Brinzotim Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines, Brinzolamide and Timolol, which lower the pressure of eyes by reducing the production and increasing the outflow of aqueous humour.
Brinzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor which reduces the production of aqueous humor in the ciliary body, thereby reducing intra-ocular pressure. It is formulated as an ophthalmic suspension. The pharmacokinetics of ocular suspensions is not well understood.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
