Overview

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.

Medical Uses & Benefits

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.

Possible Side Effects

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

Common side effects include:

Directions for Use

  • 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.

How This Medicine Works

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.
