ALPHAGAN P DROPS 0.15%

Alphagan P Drops 0.15% is an ophthalmic solution that contains brimonidine tartrate at a concentration of 0.15%. It is used to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Like the 0.2% formulation, brimonidine in Alphagan P works by decreasing the production of fluid within the eye (aqueous humor) and increasing its outflow, which helps to lower the pressure inside the eye.

The "P" in Alphagan P typically indicates that this formulation is preserved with a different preservative (purite) that is believed to be gentler on the eyes compared to traditional preservatives. This can be beneficial for patients who are sensitive to preservatives in eye drops.

Alphagan P Drops 0.15% are generally used two to three times daily, as prescribed by an eye care professional, to maintain control over intraocular pressure and reduce the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss associated with glaucoma.
