Alphagan Structure
- Benzalkonium chloride 0.05 mg;
- Brimonidine tartrate 2 mg;
Alphagan Indications
Alphagan eye drops are indicated for lowering intraocular pressure in patients with:
- ocular hypertension;
- open-angle glaucoma.
The IOP lowering effect of these eye drops diminishes over time in some patents.
This loss of effect appears with a variable time of onset in each patient and should be closely monitored.
Alphagan Contraindications
Alphagan eye drops are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to brimonidine tartrate or any component of
this medication. Alphagan eye drops are contraindicated in patients receiving monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy.
Alphagan and Pregnancy
Reproduction studies performed in rats with oral doses of 0.66mg base/kg revealed no evidence of impaired
fertility or harmed foetus due to eye drops. Dosing of this level produced 100 times the plasma Alphagan eye drops
concentration level seen in humans following multiple ophthalmic doses. There are no studies of eye drops in pregnant
women, however, in animal studies brimonidine crossed the placenta and entered into the foetal circulation to a limited
extent. Eye drops should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk
to the foetus.
Alphagan and Nursing Mothers
Alphagan eye drops are not known whether these drops are excreted in human milk, although in animal studies,
brimonidine tartrate has been shown to be excreted in breast milk. A decision should be made whether to discontinue
nursing or to discontinue the drug. taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
