Which drugs are included in Simbrinza?

Explanation:
Simbrinza combines two drugs with complementary actions to lower intraocular pressure: brinzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces production of aqueous humor, and brimonidine tartrate, an alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that also lowers aqueous humor production and can help improve outflow. Because of this fixed combination of brinzolamide and brimonidine, those are the drugs included in Simbrinza. Other pairings, such as two carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, a prostaglandin analog with another agent, or a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor with a beta-blocker, are not what Simbrinza contains.
