Product Description:
Betafree Eye Drop is a combination medication used to manage high pressure inside the eyes, especially in conditions like glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It contains two active ingredients—Brinzolamide and Brimonidine—that work together to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), preventing damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision. This eye drop is commonly prescribed when single-drug therapy is insufficient and a combination is required for better control.
