Dorzolamide 2% w/v + Timolol 0.5% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1156Eye Care
Product Introduction
Dorzolamide 2% w/v + Timolol 0.5% w/v eye drops lower raised eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Combining two pressure-lowering mechanisms can help when one medicine alone does not adequately control pressure.
How to use
The usual schedule is one drop in the affected eye twice daily. Close the eye after the drop and press the inner corner gently for one to two minutes. Leave at least five minutes before another eye medicine.
How it works
Dorzolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes. Timolol blocks beta receptors. Both reduce aqueous-humour production through different mechanisms.
Side effects
Stinging, burning, blurred vision or a bitter taste may occur. Slow heartbeat, wheezing or breathlessness can occur because timolol may enter the circulation.
Important information
Asthma, severe obstructive lung disease, a very slow pulse and certain heart-conduction disorders are important contraindications. Severe kidney impairment and sulfonamide allergy also affect dorzolamide suitability.
Uses
- Raised intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Benefits
Provides two complementary pressure-lowering actions in one bottle to help protect the optic nerve from further pressure-related damage.
Can this restore vision already lost to glaucoma?
No. Lowering pressure helps limit further damage, but established optic-nerve loss is generally irreversible.
Can an eye drop affect breathing or pulse?
Yes. Timolol is a beta blocker and can affect the lungs and heart after absorption from the eye.
Why does the medicine sometimes taste bitter?
Drops can drain through the tear duct into the nose and throat. Gentle inner-corner pressure reduces this drainage.
What if I already take a beta blocker tablet?
The combined effects may slow the pulse or lower blood pressure more, so the medicines need to be considered together.
Should treatment continue if there is no eye pain?
Glaucoma often causes no early discomfort. Pressure readings and optic-nerve follow-up determine how well treatment is working.
