Brinolar Eye Drop

Description

Brinolar Eye Drop is a prescription ophthalmic medicine manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. It contains Brinzolamide (1% w/v), a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that works by reducing aqueous humor production in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure (IOP).

It is commonly prescribed for patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.
