Abpress PF Eye Drop is a preservative-free combination ophthalmic solution containing Timolol and Brimonidine. It is prescribed to reduce elevated pressure inside the eye in glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The dual-action formula decreases the production of fluid within the eye, helping to lower intraocular pressure. Regular use under medical guidance supports better long-term control of eye pressure and helps protect vision.

How Does It Work?
Timolol, a beta-blocker, reduces the formation of aqueous humor (eye fluid). Brimonidine, an alpha-2 agonist, also decreases fluid production and may improve its outflow. Together, they lower the pressure inside the eye effectively.
