1. What is ALPHAGAN and what is it used for
Alphagan is used to reduce the pressure inside the eye. The active ingredient in ALPHAGAN is brimonidine tartrate, which belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-2-adrenergic receptor agonists and works by reducing pressure within the eyeball. It can be used alone, when beta-blocker eye drops are contraindicated, or with another eye drop, when a single medication is not sufficient to reduce the increase in eye pressure in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

other surfaces. Immediately after using the bottle, replace and tighten the cap.
