ALPHAGAN P is an eye drop used in the management of elevated intraocular pressure in individuals with open-angle glaucoma or with ocular hypertension. The active substance of the product is brimonidine tartrate, which is capable of reducing intraocular pressure. The drops have not only proved useful in office management but also constitute a groundbreaking tool in eye care.

Alphagan P is primarily used for:

1. Reducing intraocular pressure in glaucomatous conditions.
2. Preventing optic damage in the presence of elevated eye pressure.
3. Reducing the risk of loss of vision from ocular hypertension.

It is the one agent available to manage eye health because it can decrease fluid outflow as well as reduce pressure in the eye.

FAQs

What is Alphangan P eye drops used for?

Alphagan P Drops 5 ml is an ophthalmic medication used in the treatment of ocular hypertension and glaucoma .This medication functions by reducing the amount of aqueous humour (ocular fluid) produced, thus aiding in lowering eye pressure.

What is normal eye pressure? 

Normal eye pressure, also know as intraocular (IOP), typically falls within the range of 10 to 21 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). This pressure is crucial for maintaining the shape of the eye and is measured using a unit called mmHg.
