Simbrinza

How is this medication used?

Simbrinza is typically administered as one drop in the affected eye(s) three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions carefully. Before using Simbrinza, shake the bottle well. To apply the drops, tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and place a drop into this space. Close your eyes gently for 1 to 2 minutes without blinking or squinting. Avoid touching the dropper tip against your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination of the solution.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects of Simbrinza may include blurred vision, eye irritation, dry mouth, dizziness, and fatigue. Some individuals may also experience allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or severe swelling. Rare but serious side effects include changes in heart rate, difficulty breathing, and eye pain or discomfort. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately.

What are the potential interactions?

Simbrinza may interact with other medications, particularly those that suppress the central nervous system, such as opioids, barbiturates, and benzodiazepines, as well as other blood pressure-lowering agents. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions. Avoid using Simbrinza with other eye drops that contain a thiazide diuretic to prevent additive effects in lowering blood pressure.
