BETABRIM is a fixed dose combination eye drop medication that contains Timolol and Brimonidine Tartrate. Timolol is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. Brimonidine Tartrate is an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that also helps decrease intraocular pressure. This combination is used for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. BETABRIM helps to control eye pressure and reduce the risk of vision loss associated with these conditions. It should be used as directed by your doctor.
