- Brimonidine belongs to a group of medicines called alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists
- Timolol belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers
- It works by reducing the production of liquid and increasing the amount of liquid that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye whilst continuing to feed the eye
