Brimonidine Tartrate Eye Drops (generic Alphagan) Review

Alphagan lowers high pressure in the eye, a problem typically caused by the condition known as open-angle glaucoma. Alphagan works in two ways: it reduces production of the liquid that fills the eyeball, and it promotes drainage of this liquid.

The usual dose is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) 3 times daily, approximately 8 hours apart.
