CompositionDorzox T Eye Drops is used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, helping to protect the optic nerve and preserve vision. It is a combination medicine containing dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and timolol, a beta blocker.
This medicine is usually used when a single eye drop has not lowered the pressure enough. Both ingredients reduce the amount of fluid made inside the eye. Wash your hands and put one drop into the affected eye as prescribed, usually twice a day, without letting the dropper touch your eye. Afterwards, close your eye and press gently on the inner corner for 1 to 2 minutes, which helps reduce how much medicine reaches the rest of the body.
Use the drops every day as prescribed, even though raised eye pressure usually has no symptoms. Remove soft contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back. Keep all eye pressure check-ups.
Timolol can be absorbed into the body, so do not use these drops if you have asthma, severe COPD, a very slow heartbeat, heart block or uncontrolled heart failure. Before starting, tell your doctor if you have severe kidney disease, an allergy to sulfa medicines, diabetes or thyroid problems, and about other medicines you take, especially beta blockers and other eye drops; leave at least 10 minutes between different drops. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Stop and seek medical help if you develop wheezing, a very slow pulse, or eye swelling and severe redness. Do not stop using this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
