Combigan is a prescription ophthalmic solution that combines two active ingredients, brimonidine tartrate and timolol maleate, used to lower intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It is administered as an eye drop solution. Patients are advised to avoid using Combigan if they have a history of asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or certain heart conditions, as it may exacerbate these conditions.
FAQs about Combigan
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Combigan, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
