Is it allowed to take Brimonidine during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Like most ophthalmologic compounds for topical use a low dose and poor absorption make it compatible with breastfeeding. Systemic absorption is minimal. There have not been problems except when a maternal overdose was absorbed.

Been using over 10 years. Eyelids itch sometimes. I am 67 yrs old. Seems to work. Better than going blind.

My father had been on this for over a year, and like another reviewer mentioned; I feel like he developed an allergy or some other reaction with it. developed lots of itching, red bloodshot eyes, redness and discoloration around the eyes, eyelid crusting and pain.

Eyelid crusting which I had trouble convincing my provider. This was followed by red eyeballs and irritation. Eyes often glued shut by morning.

I previously reviewed these drops after using one time. I decided to try them again & have used them now for almost 3 months with no side effects that I can say are coming from them. I do have bad sinus allergies but I hope they are from the outside air & not these drops. I use them at night, & they have lasted almost 3 months.
