A member asked:
I have recently started eye drops (alphagan) for glaucoma. is it normal to become dizzy, every day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Alphagan or brimonidine drops are a in a class of drugs known as alpha-agonists. In normal adults, this drug does not cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain's circulation. In small children, very elderly patients and in some medical conditions where the barrier is not intact, sleepiness may occur as a side effect. You should report this and check with your doctor.
