IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Reading the CMI does not take the place of counselling by a health professional. Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist about all aspects of your medicines, including why you are taking them and what benefits / risks you can expect.
The CMI for your medicine that is on this web site is the most up-to-date version available. It may differ from a CMI that you previously received from your doctor or pharmacist, or in your pack of medicine.

This web site does not contain all CMIs for medicines sold in Australia and not all medicines have a CMI available for them. If you do not find a CMI for your medicine on this page, contact the pharmaceutical company who makes the medicine or talk to your doctor or pharmacist. The information on this web site is intended for use in Australia only.

ALPHAGAN® eye drops are used to lower raised 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 or optometrist. 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.
ALPHAGAN® eye drops are used, either alone or in combination with other eye drops/medicines, to lower raised pressure within your eye(s).
Mechanism of action:
ALPHAGAN® eye drops lower the pressure in the eye by decreasing the fluid produced and helping the flow of fluid out of the eye chamber.
Your doctor may have prescribed ALPHAGAN® eye drops for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why ALPHAGAN® eye drops have been prescribed for you.

ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 eye drops are only available with a doctor’s prescription from pharmacies.
Your doctor may have prescribed ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 eye drops for you instead of ALPHAGAN® eye drops. The main difference between ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 and ALPHAGAN® is the preservative; ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 contains 'Purite' (hence the 'P') whereas ALPHAGAN® contains benzalkonium chloride (see Product Description).
ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 belongs to a family of medicines called alpha-adrenergic agonists.
Your doctor may have prescribed ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 eye drops for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why ALPHAGAN® P 1.5 eye drops have been prescribed for you.
