  • Alphagan (brimonidine)

  • Hi everyone,
    There is a recent report of a small pilot clincal trial investigating the use of Alphagan (brimonidine) as a neuroprotective agent for RP. The results are modestly encouraging, but await further testing. I noticed that several years ago, someone on this message board had stated that their husband was given Alphagen by their doctor and was wondering if anyone else had tried it for RP?

    Here is the information for those science-types:
