Dorzolamide Hydrochloride and Timolol Meleate are the primary active ingredients found in Dorzox-T Eye Drop. Dorzox-T is utilized either as an adjunctive treatment along with beta-blockers or as a standalone therapy for patients who do not respond to beta-blockers or when they are contraindicated, in order to manage elevated intraocular pressure (the increased fluid pressure within the eye) in individuals with ocular hypertension, open-angle glaucoma, or pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma (a condition characterized by debris that accumulates on the lens of the eye, leading to increased pressure).
This is a combined sterile, buffered, isotonic solution that incorporates two medications: Dorzolamide Hydrochloride, a sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and Timolol Meleate, a beta-adrenergic blocker that is the first beta-blocker approved for topical application. The combination of these two drugs is employed to treat glaucoma, a visual disorder, and to decrease the pressure within the eye when it is excessively high (intraocular pressure).
Dorzox-T is effective in addressing elevated pressure in the eye linked to ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma, both of which can result in high levels of intraocular pressure that may cause eye pain and could potentially damage vision. This medication aids in lowering pressure by inhibiting the production of aqueous humor fluid, thus alleviating eye pain associated with glaucoma.
Recommended dose: It is essential to administer this medication according to your doctor's instructions.
Dorzox-T should be applied through the ocular route, meaning it is to be used in the eyes. Shake well before use, remove the cap, and carefully instill the drops one at a time. It is advisable to gently close the eyes for one to two minutes following administration.
Patients using Dorzox-T may experience side effects such as nausea, a burning or stinging sensation in the eyes, eye soreness, blurred vision, conjunctivitis, fatigue, a bitter taste, headaches, and irritation or inflammation of the eyelids.
