Active ingredients

The drug SIMBRINZA contains a combination of these active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs):

1
UNII 9451Z89515 - BRINZOLAMIDE
 

Brinzolamide is an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II). Carbonic anhydrase (CA) is an enzyme found in many tissues of the body, including the eye. Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humour secretion resulting in a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP) which is a major risk factor in the pathogenesis of optic nerve damage and glaucomatous visual field loss.

UNII 4S9CL2DY2H - BRIMONIDINE TARTRATE
 

Brimonidine is an alpha2-adrenergic receptor agonist that is 1000-fold more selective for the alpha2-adrenoceptor than the alpha1-adrenoreceptor. This selectivity results in no mydriasis and the absence of vasoconstriction in microvessels associated with human retinal xenografts.
