Benozol BR Suspension combines Brinzolamide 1% and Brimonidine Tartrate 0.2% in a single ophthalmic formulation, designed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This dual-action suspension works synergistically: Brinzolamide decreases aqueous humor production, while Brimonidine both reduces aqueous humor formation and increases uveoscleral outflow, providing enhanced IOP-lowering efficacy.
This combination therapy is ideal for patients who require more than one medication to achieve target IOP, offering convenience, improved compliance, and effective glaucoma management.

Key Benefits
-
Significantly lowers elevated intraocular pressure
-
Protects the optic nerve from pressure-related damage
-
Dual mechanism enhances IOP reduction
-
Convenient combination therapy reduces the need for multiple eye drops

Suitable for long-term glaucoma and ocular hypertension management
Indications
Benozol BR Suspension is indicated for:
-
Open-angle glaucoma
-
Ocular hypertension
-
Patients requiring dual therapy for optimal intraocular pressure control
Mechanism of Action
-
Brinzolamide (1%): A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces aqueous humor production, lowering intraocular pressure.
-
Brimonidine Tartrate (0.2%): An alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that decreases aqueous humor formation and increases uveoscleral outflow.
-
The combination provides additive IOP-lowering effects while minimizing the need for multiple separate medications.
