๐งฌ What is Alphagan P Eye Drop 5ml?
Alphagan P is an advanced formulation of Brimonidine Tartrate 0.15% combined with Stabilized Oxychloro Complex (SOC), which acts as a gentler preservative. It is used in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). SOC is designed to break down into harmless components upon contact with the eye, making Alphagan P more suitable for long-term use in sensitive patients.
Manufactured by Allergan India Pvt Ltd (an AbbVie company), Alphagan P offers effective pressure control while minimizing preservative-related side effects such as irritation and dryness. It is highly recommended for individuals intolerant to traditional benzalkonium chloride (BAK)-based drops.

๐ฉโโ๏ธ Ophthalmologist’s Viewpoint
Dr. Ruchi Bansal, Glaucoma Specialist:
“Alphagan Pโs use of SOC instead of BAK reduces inflammation, particularly in patients requiring lifelong therapy. It provides a balance between efficacy and ocular surface health.”
