Uses

Dorzox-T Eye Drops (Dorzolamide/Timolol) are indicated for the treatment of ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eye) and glaucoma. These eye drops contain two active ingredients, allowing patients to enjoy the combined benefits of two medicines in a single solution. Dorzolamide is a type of medicine referred to as a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and the other ingredient (timolol) is a beta adrenergic receptor blocking agent.

These eye drops are used as an anti-glaucoma agent, and each of the active ingredients function by decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor. As excess production or a reduction in drainage of this fluid can lead to intraocular pressure, reducing its secretion leads to a lowering of pressure in the eye, thereby helping to lower the risk of damage to the eyes.

Dosage and Administration

If you are affected by eye conditions, and your doctor recommends using Dorzox-T Eye Drops (Dorzolamide/Timolol) to treat your condition, a dosage schedule will be prescribed for you by your doctor. Patients who are unsure of how to properly apply the drops to the eyes should ask their doctor. Generally, adults are told to apply one drop into the eye or eyes that need to be treated, twice per day. Never apply more than the prescribed amount of eye drops.
