Brimonidine is the main active compound of the product known as Alphagan eye drops, and it is usually prescribed to improve fluid drainage as well as hypertension at the level of the eye blood vessels.

Who should use Alphagan eye drops and how?
Doctors usually prescribe this drug to patients who suffer from glaucoma and the unpleasant health issues derived from this condition. Alphagan eye drops normalizes the amount of liquid in the eye which significantly reduces discomfort and the blood tension.

The administration of Alphagan eye drops requires good hygiene measures meaning that you should not touch the cornea with the dropper. In case there is an eye infection you risk to contaminate the dropper and make it unsafe to use again. For patients who use contact lenses extra care is required since Alphagan eye drops may not allow wearing them immediately after administration.

The best way to use Alphagan eye drops is to administrate the drug down the lower eye lid. In order to avoid potential problems try not to look at the dropper, after the liquid has touched the cornea, prevent it from draining in the tear duct by pressing a finger in the interior corner of the eye, near the nose. Maintain this gentle pressure for about a minute to make sure that the active substance has started to work.

What should I tell the doctor before using Alphagan eye drops?
Like many other drugs, Alphagan eye drops administration requires a careful analysis of the patient's medical record to make sure that it is safe to use.
There are some medical conditions that are almost incompatible with Alphagan eye drops, and the neglect of such cases may lead to an aggravation of the overall health state.
* Since Alphagan eye drops are meant to normalize the blood tension at the eye level, hypertension and heart disease may prevent administration.
* Poor circulation, medically know as Raynaud's disease, may also raise some problems for a treatment with Alphagan eye drops.
* From the eye, this drug passes directly into the blood and it may affect liver or kidney function, hence you have to be extra careful in case you suffer from health problems related to these organs.
* Depression is one more problem that can get worse during a treatment with Alphagan eye drops; make sure you tell the doctor about any antidepressants you may be taking, since complications could appear as a result of an unhappy combination.
