About Doze T Eye Drop

DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL belongs to an anti-hypertensive combination medication called antiglaucoma agents, primarily used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL is generally used when no other medication is effective to treat glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL contains Dorzolamide and Timolol. Dorzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and timolol is a topical beta-blocker. Both help decrease the secretion of aqueous humour (natural fluid present in the eye) by the eye's ciliary body, thereby causing a decrease in eye pressure.

DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The doctor will adjust the dose you are given according to your condition and response to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience itching, stinging sensation, burning sensation in the eye, redness, blurred vision, tiredness, drowsiness, headache and dryness in the mouth in some cases. Most of these side effects of DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. You should not use DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL without consulting your doctor if you have an eye infection, allergies, closed-angle glaucoma, thyroid diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, depression, Raynaud's phenomenon (numbness in various parts of the body) and slow heartbeats that make you faint. It is unsafe to use DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL during breastfeeding since Timolol can pass into breast milk and harm a nursing baby. Check with your doctor before using DORZOLAMIDE+TIMOLOL if you are pregnant, currently breastfeeding or taking any other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. If you are using more than one ophthalmic drug, instil each medicine with a five-minute gap.
