Dorzolamide 2% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1157Eye Care
Product Introduction
Dorzolamide 2% w/v eye drops reduce elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma or ocular hypertension. They can be used alone or as part of a combination regimen when additional pressure reduction is needed.
How to use
Instil into the lower-eyelid pocket and close the eye gently. Dorzolamide alone is commonly used three times daily; a regimen combined with a beta-blocker drop may use a different frequency. Separate different eye drops by at least five minutes.
How it works
Dorzolamide blocks carbonic anhydrase II in the ciliary body. This reduces bicarbonate formation and the secretion of aqueous humour inside the eye.
Side effects
Burning, stinging, a bitter taste, transient blur or irritation may occur. Eyelid inflammation and local allergy can develop during continued use.
Important information
Severe kidney impairment, sulfonamide reactions and pre-existing corneal endothelial problems are particularly relevant. Persistent swelling or irritation may indicate intolerance to the medicine.
Uses
- Raised eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Benefits
Reduces pressure without using a beta blocker and can add to the effect of other glaucoma medicines.
Is this the same as dorzolamide plus timolol?
No. This bottle contains dorzolamide alone. Combination drops contain a second active ingredient and have different precautions.
Will I notice when my eye pressure falls?
Usually not. Pressure reduction is measured during eye examinations rather than judged from symptoms.
Can it replace oral acetazolamide automatically?
No. Although both inhibit carbonic anhydrase, their route, effects and treatment roles differ.
Does a sulfonamide allergy matter?
Dorzolamide is a sulfonamide derivative. A previous serious sulfonamide reaction is relevant to treatment selection.
What if irritation starts after several weeks?
A delayed local allergic reaction can occur and may need a change of glaucoma medicine.
