Bromostar-T Eye Drop 5ml

Bromostar-T Eye Drop 5ml is a combination eye medication prescribed to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients suffering from open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It contains Brimonidine Tartrate, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist, and Timolol Maleate, a non-selective beta-blocker. These two medicines work together to decrease the production of aqueous humor while improving its drainage from the eye.

Maintaining normal eye pressure is essential because prolonged high pressure can damage the optic nerve, leading to gradual and irreversible vision loss. Bromostar-T provides effective pressure control and is often prescribed when a single medicine alone does not adequately manage eye pressure.

The drops are intended for ophthalmic use only and should never be injected or swallowed. Regular follow-up with your ophthalmologist is important while using this medication to monitor eye pressure and treatment response.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop is prescribed for:

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye)
• Long-term control of intraocular pressure
• Preventing optic nerve damage associated with glaucoma

• Effectively lowers elevated intraocular pressure.
• Helps manage open-angle glaucoma.
• Useful for treating ocular hypertension.
• Protects the optic nerve from pressure-related damage.
• Reduces the risk of progressive vision loss.
• Combination therapy offers better pressure control than many single-agent eye drops.
• Suitable for long-term treatment under medical supervision.

Like all medicines, Bromostar-T Eye Drop may cause some side effects.

Common side effects include:

• Temporary burning or stinging sensation
• Eye irritation
• Blurred vision immediately after application
• Dry eyes
• Redness of the eyes
• Watery eyes
• Itching
• Foreign body sensation in the eye
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth

• Rare but serious side effects:
• Difficulty breathing

• Eye pain with sudden vision changes
• Seek immediate medical attention if serious symptoms develop.

• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Shake the bottle if instructed by your doctor.
• Tilt your head backward.
• Pull down the lower eyelid gently.
• Instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface.
• Close your eyes for 1–2 minutes after instillation.
• Press gently on the inner corner of the eye to reduce systemic absorption.
• If using multiple eye drops, maintain at least a 5–10 minute gap between medicines.
• Replace the cap tightly after each use.

The usual recommended dosage is:

One drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart, or exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.

Do not change the dosage without consulting your doctor.

Bromostar-T combines two medicines with different mechanisms of action.

Brimonidine Tartrate stimulates alpha-2 adrenergic receptors, reducing the production of aqueous humor while increasing its outflow.

Timolol Maleate is a beta-blocker that decreases aqueous humor production by the ciliary body.

Together, these actions effectively lower intraocular pressure, helping prevent optic nerve damage and preserving vision.

• Prescription medicine only.
• For ophthalmic use only.
• Do not swallow the solution.
• Do not touch the dropper tip.
• Remove contact lenses before application.
• Reinsert contact lenses after at least 15 minutes.

• Inform your doctor if you have asthma, COPD, heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or kidney disease.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Keep away from children.
• Use only as directed by your ophthalmologist.

If you forget a dose, instill it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule.

Do not use double doses to make up for a missed one.

Substitutes may include equivalent Brimonidine + Timolol ophthalmic solutions prescribed by your doctor, such as:

• Brimolol Eye Drops
• Brimon-T Eye Drops
• Brimonidine + Timolol Ophthalmic Solution (Generic)
• Brimocom-T Eye Drops

Always consult your ophthalmologist before switching brands.

• Use the medicine regularly for best results.

• Prescription ophthalmic medicine.
• Combination of Brimonidine Tartrate and Timolol Maleate.
• Used to reduce elevated eye pressure.
• Helps prevent glaucoma-related vision loss.
• Suitable for long-term glaucoma management.
• For external eye use only.

Inform your doctor if you take:

• Other glaucoma medications
• Beta-blockers
• Blood pressure medicines
• Calcium channel blockers
• Digoxin
• Antidepressants (especially MAO inhibitors)

Patients with glaucoma often require lifelong treatment. Consistent use of Bromostar-T Eye Drop helps maintain healthy eye pressure and reduces the risk of permanent vision loss. Never skip scheduled eye examinations, as glaucoma may progress without noticeable symptoms. If you experience persistent eye discomfort, worsening vision, or severe redness, consult your eye specialist promptly.

What is Bromostar-T Eye Drop used for?

It is used to lower increased pressure inside the eye caused by glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

How long does it take to work?

The medicine begins lowering eye pressure within a few hours, but maximum benefit is achieved with regular use.
