AZARGA is used to lower pressure in the eye and to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition
in which the pressure of fluid in the eye may be high. However, some people with glaucoma
may have normal eye pressure.
Glaucoma is usually caused by a build-up of the fluid which flows through the eye.
This build up occurs because the fluid drains out of your eye more slowly than it
is being pumped in. Since new fluid continues to enter the eye, joining the fluid
already there, the pressure continues to rise. This raised pressure may damage the
back of the eye resulting in gradual loss of sight. Damage can progress so slowly
that the person is not aware of this gradual loss of sight. Sometimes even normal
eye pressure is associated with damage to the back of the eye.
There are usually no symptoms of glaucoma. The only way of knowing that you have glaucoma
is to have your eye pressure, optic nerve and visual field checked by an eye specialist.
If glaucoma is not treated, it can lead to serious problems, including total blindness.
In fact, untreated glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness.
AZARGA combines two ingredients, brinzolamide and timolol. Brinzolamide is a carbonic
anhydrase inhibitor and timolol is a beta-blocker. Both brinzolamide and timolol work
by reducing the production of fluid within the eye. Although AZARGA helps control
your glaucoma, it does not cure it.
For more information about glaucoma, contact Glaucoma Australia on 1800 500 880 or
Glaucoma New Zealand on 09 373 8779.

There is no evidence that AZARGA is addictive.
