If you are pregnant or likely to be pregnant, do not use Brimonidine Hexal unless your doctor tells you it is absolutely necessary.

Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and can discolor the contact lenses. Remove contact lenses before using the medicine and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting the contact lenses. Benzalkonium chloride can be irritating to the eyes, especially if you have dry eyes or problems with the cornea (the clear membrane at the front of the eye). If you experience irritation, tingling, or pain in the eye after using the medicine, consult a doctor. Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure. Dosage and how often to take Brimonidine Hexal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Take 1 drop of Brimonidine Hexal in the affected eye (s) twice daily<\/strong> at approximately 12-hour intervals. If you use it with other eye drops, wait 5-15 minutes before taking the other eye drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The eye drops must be taken every day to be effective. Children under 12 years<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brimonidine Hexal is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Brimonidine Hexal must not be used in particular for toddlers under 2 years of age. Method of administration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Brimonidine Hexal is intended for use in the eye (s). Follow the instructions on the prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain what you do not understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always wash your hands before applying eye drops. Take the drops as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carefully pull the lower eyelid down until a small pocket is formed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Hold the bottle upside down and squeeze until there is a drop in the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Keep the eye closed and press the finger towards the corner of the eye (the side where the eye meets the nose) and hold for 1 minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not allow the drip device to come into contact with the eyes or anything else. Replace and tighten the cover immediately after use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wear soft contact lenses<\/strong>, remove them before using the eye drops and wait 15 minutes after taking the drops before reinserting the lenses. The preservative in these eye drops discolors soft contact lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adults<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is limited experience with overdose of Brimonidine Hexal in adults. This is unlikely when given as eye drops. In the cases reported, the symptoms have generally been those already listed as side effects. Adults who inadvertently swallow brimonidine experienced a drop in blood pressure, which in some patients was followed by an increase in blood pressure. Children<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Several cases of overdose have been reported in children receiving brimonidine Hexal as part of medical treatment for glaucoma ( glaucoma ). Symptoms include temporary coma or decreased consciousness, fatigue, drowsiness, lethargy, slow heartbeat, low body temperature, paleness, and difficulty breathing. Contact a doctor immediately if any of these symptoms occur.

Brimonidine Hexal may cause similar symptoms. Brimonidine Hexal is for eye application only. If you or a child accidentally swallows these eye drops or uses more than you or your child should, contact a doctor immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you forget to use this medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the drops but wait until the usual time and follow the normal routine. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You must use Brimonidine Hexal every day for it to be effective.
