Luxfen eye drops 0.2% 5 ml

Luxfen (Luxphen) eye drops - to treat open-angle glaucoma, decrease in intraocular pressure. The drug can be used as a monotherapeutic agent by patients who have contraindications to the use of local beta-adrenoreceptor blockers.

Luxfen eye drops - antiglaucoma preparation. Brimonidine is a selective α 2 -adrenoreceptor agonist.

When instillation 0.2% solution of brimonidine, the decrease in intraocular pressure is 10-12 mm Hg. The maximum effect is observed after 2 hours, the duration of the action is 12 hours.

Brimonidine has a dual mechanism of action: it lowers the intraocular pressure by decreasing the synthesis of the intraocular fluid and enhancing the uveoscleral outflow.

Pharmacokinetics
