Is simbrinza a combination of two drugs?

What drugs are in Simbrinza?

Simbrinza is a fixed-dose eye drop that combines two active ingredients:
- brimonidine
- brinzolamide

How does that combination work?

The two ingredients target different parts of eye-pressure control. Brinzolamide reduces production of fluid in the eye, while brimonidine lowers eye pressure by decreasing fluid production and increasing outflow. The combination is used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (often in glaucoma or ocular hypertension).

Is it the same as a “two separate prescriptions” setup?

No. Simbrinza is formulated as a single medication (a single eye-drop product) that delivers both drugs together in the same bottle, rather than requiring two separate prescriptions.
