Postmarketing bradycardia, eyelid erythema, hypersensitivity, iritis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, miosis, nausea, skin reactions, syncope, tachycardia
Pharmacology
Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog with ocular hypotensive activity that lowers IOP by increasing aqueous humor outflow through both the trabecular meshwork (conventional) and uveoscleral (unconventional) routes.
COMBIGAN combines brimonidine tartrate, a relatively selective alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonist that reduces aqueous humor production and increases uveoscleral outflow, with timolol maleate, a non-selective beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptor inhibitor, to lower elevated intraocular pressure.
