What are the two generic alpha-2 agonists?

Explanation:
Alpha-2 adrenergic agonists are drugs used to lower intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humor production. The two generic alpha-2 agonists used in glaucoma are brimonidine and apraclonidine. Brimonidine is available in two common concentrations, 0.15% and 0.2%. Apraclonidine is typically 0.5%. The other options include latanoprost, which is a prostaglandin analog, and timolol, a beta-blocker—neither of which are alpha-2 agonists.
