Key points

  • Brimonidine tartrate is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, a medicine class used to lower pressure inside the eye.
  • Raised eye pressure is linked with a greater likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual-field loss in glaucoma.
  • Combigan must not be used in newborns or infants under two years old.
