Bromostar T Eye Drop 5ML

Details

Bromostar-T Eye Drop 5ML is a prescription ophthalmic medicine containing Brimonidine 0.2% w/v and Timolol 0.5% w/v. It is used to reduce increased pressure inside the eye in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By helping lower intraocular pressure, the medicine can help reduce the risk of pressure-related damage to the optic nerve.

Bromostar-T combines two medicines that lower eye pressure through different mechanisms. Brimonidine helps reduce the production of aqueous humour and promotes its outflow, while Timolol reduces aqueous humour production. This combined action helps provide better control of elevated intraocular pressure in appropriate patients.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop is manufactured/marketed by Mankind Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and is supplied as a 5 mL ophthalmic eye-drop preparation. It should be used only according to the prescription and instructions provided by an eye-care professional.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop Uses

Bromostar-T Eye Drop is primarily prescribed for conditions associated with increased pressure inside the eye. High intraocular pressure can place stress on the optic nerve and, if left untreated, may contribute to progressive vision loss.

Common uses

• Management of ocular hypertension.
• Management of open-angle glaucoma.
• Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure.
• Helping maintain eye pressure within the range recommended by an ophthalmologist.
• Supporting long-term management of pressure-related optic nerve damage.

The medicine does not reverse existing optic nerve damage. Its purpose is to help control eye pressure and reduce the risk of further damage when used as prescribed.

Benefits of Bromostar-T Eye Drop

Helps Lower Eye Pressure

Bromostar-T contains two pressure-lowering medicines that work through complementary mechanisms. This helps reduce the amount of aqueous humour in the eye and consequently lowers intraocular pressure.

Supports Glaucoma Management

Maintaining appropriate intraocular pressure is an important part of glaucoma management. Regular use as prescribed can help control eye pressure and reduce the risk of progressive optic nerve damage.

Dual-Ingredient Ophthalmic Treatment

The combination of Brimonidine and Timolol provides two different mechanisms of action in one eye-drop formulation. This may be useful when a single pressure-lowering medicine does not provide adequate control.

Helps Manage Ocular Hypertension

Ocular hypertension refers to higher-than-normal pressure inside the eye without necessarily having established glaucoma. Your ophthalmologist can determine whether pressure-lowering treatment is appropriate based on your eye examination and individual risk factors.

Composition of Bromostar-T Eye Drop

Brimonidine 0.2% w/v

Brimonidine is an alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist used in ophthalmic medicines to reduce intraocular pressure. It decreases aqueous humour production and also supports aqueous humour outflow, helping lower pressure within the eye.

Timolol 0.5% w/v

Timolol is a beta-adrenergic blocker used in ophthalmology to reduce aqueous humour production. By decreasing fluid production inside the eye, Timolol contributes to lowering intraocular pressure.

Some versions of Bromostar-T may contain preservatives depending on the specific formulation. Always check the current product packaging for the complete composition and excipient information.

How Does Bromostar-T Eye Drop Work?

The eye continuously produces a clear fluid called aqueous humour. This fluid normally circulates through the eye and drains through natural pathways. When production and drainage are not properly balanced, pressure inside the eye can increase.

Brimonidine helps reduce aqueous humour production and can increase its drainage. Timolol primarily reduces the production of aqueous humour. By combining these actions, Bromostar-T helps lower elevated intraocular pressure.

Controlling intraocular pressure is particularly important in glaucoma because prolonged elevated pressure may contribute to optic nerve damage and gradual loss of vision.

How to Use Bromostar-T Eye Drop 5ML

Use Bromostar-T exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist. Do not change the number of drops or frequency of administration without medical advice.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before using the eye drops.
2. Remove the protective cap without touching the dropper tip.
3. Tilt your head backwards and look upward.
4. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
5. Hold the bottle close to the eye without allowing the tip to touch the eye, eyelid, or eyelashes.
6. Squeeze the bottle gently and instil the prescribed number of drops.
7. Close your eye gently after application.
8. Press lightly at the inner corner of the eye near the nose for about 1–2 minutes if advised by your healthcare professional.
9. Replace the cap immediately after use.

If you use more than one eye medication, maintain the interval recommended by your doctor, generally at least 5–10 minutes between different eye drops. Eye ointments are usually applied after eye drops.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop Dosage

The appropriate dose and frequency depend on the severity of the condition, response to treatment, and other medicines being used. Follow the exact dosing schedule prescribed by your ophthalmologist.

Bromostar-T should not be used more frequently or in larger amounts than prescribed. Consistent use is important in long-term glaucoma treatment because pressure may increase again if treatment is interrupted.

Do not stop the medicine simply because your eyes feel normal. Glaucoma and ocular hypertension may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

Possible Side Effects of Bromostar-T Eye Drop

Some patients may experience mild and temporary effects after applying Bromostar-T. These effects may improve as the eyes adjust to treatment.

• Eye burning or stinging
• Eye redness
• Eye dryness
• Itching or irritation
• Foreign-body sensation
• Temporary blurred vision
• Headache
• Tiredness or drowsiness
• Dry mouth

Contact your doctor if side effects are severe, persistent, or become worse. Seek urgent medical attention for severe eye pain, sudden changes in vision, significant swelling, breathing difficulty, fainting, or other serious symptoms.

Important Safety Information

Bromostar-T is a prescription medicine and should be used under appropriate ophthalmic supervision. Because Timolol can have effects beyond the eye after systemic absorption, certain medical conditions require particular caution.

Tell your doctor if you have:

• Asthma or a history of breathing problems.
• Severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
• Slow heart rate or heart rhythm problems.
• Heart failure or other significant heart disease.
• Low blood pressure.
• Diabetes or thyroid disease.
• Circulation problems.
• Kidney or liver disease.
• Other eye conditions or previous eye surgery.

Inform your doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, particularly medicines for blood pressure, heart conditions, glaucoma, or depression.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop and Contact Lenses

If your formulation contains a preservative, contact lenses may need to be removed before applying the eye drops because some preservatives can be absorbed by soft contact lenses.

Follow the instructions supplied with your specific product and ask your ophthalmologist or pharmacist when it is appropriate to reinsert contact lenses after application.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before using Bromostar-T. Your healthcare professional will assess whether the expected benefits of treatment outweigh potential risks and will determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition.

Do not start or stop glaucoma treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical guidance.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop and Driving

Temporary blurred vision or other visual disturbances may occur after applying eye drops. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision becomes clear and you are confident that the medicine does not affect your ability to drive safely.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a scheduled dose, use it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. If the next dose is near, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not use a double dose to compensate for a missed application. If you frequently forget doses, discuss practical reminders with your healthcare professional.

Storage of Bromostar-T Eye Drop 5ML

Store Bromostar-T according to the current product label. Available product information recommends storage below 30°C and protection from unsuitable environmental conditions.

• Store below 30°C unless the product label states otherwise.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
• Protect the medicine from direct sunlight.
• Do not freeze the solution.
• Keep away from excessive heat and moisture.

Bromostar-T Eye Drop and Other Eye Medicines

If your ophthalmologist has prescribed multiple eye medicines, it is important to follow the correct sequence and maintain the recommended interval between applications.

Using several eye medicines too close together can wash one medicine out before it has sufficient time to act. Generally, a gap of several minutes is recommended between different eye drops, but follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor.

Glaucoma and Long-Term Eye Care

Glaucoma is often a long-term condition that requires regular monitoring. Elevated eye pressure may occur without obvious symptoms, which is why scheduled eye examinations are important even when vision appears normal.

Bromostar-T may help control intraocular pressure when prescribed appropriately, but it does not eliminate the need for regular ophthalmic examinations. Your doctor may monitor eye pressure, optic nerve health, visual fields, and other parameters to evaluate treatment effectiveness.
