Locoma Eye Drop 0.2%+0.5% is a combination ophthalmic solution containing Brimonidine Tartrate and Timolol Maleate. It is primarily used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By combining two effective agents with different mechanisms, this eye drop provides enhanced pressure-lowering effects, helping to protect the optic nerve and prevent vision loss.

Composition

Each ml of eye drop contains:

• Brimonidine Tartrate 0.2%
• Timolol Maleate 0.5%

Key Benefits

• Effectively reduces elevated intraocular pressure
• Combines dual-action mechanism for better control
• Helps prevent optic nerve damage
• Reduces the risk of vision loss in glaucoma patients
• Convenient combination therapy in a single formulation

Indications

Locoma Eye Drop is indicated for:

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Patients requiring combination therapy to control intraocular pressure

Mechanism of Action

• Brimonidine Tartrate is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that decreases aqueous humor production and increases uveoscleral outflow.
• Timolol Maleate is a non-selective beta-blocker that reduces the production of aqueous humor in the eye.

Together, they significantly lower intraocular pressure by reducing fluid formation and improving drainage.
