How Bricoma OSD works
Bricoma OSD is a sympathomimetic. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
What if you forget to take Bricoma OSD?
If you miss a dose of Bricoma OSD, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
Bricoma OSD helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss.
For best results, put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s).
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop.
Remove contact lenses before using Bricoma OSD and allow at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them.
Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
It may cause short term blurring of vision when first used. Use caution before driving or using machines.
It may cause temporary burning or itching sensation in the eye. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
