Listen for Patients Complaining About Dry Mouth With Simbrinza EYE Drops

April 2015

You'll soon see Simbrinza (sim-BRIN-zah), a new combination eye drop for glaucoma.

Simbrinza combines brinzolamide (Azopt) and brimonidine (Alphagan, etc) in one bottle...to lower eye pressure.

Expect most patients on Simbrinza to instill one drop into the affected eye(s) TWICE daily. Remind patients NOT to squeeze the bottle, but to gently press on the base of the bottle to release one drop.
