Active Ingredient & Action
DORZOLAMIDE (DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE) is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces the amount of fluid produced in the eye, while TIMOLOL (TIMOLOL MALEATE) is a beta-blocker that decreases the production of aqueous humor. Together, they work to reduce intraocular pressure and alleviate symptoms of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Important Notes
Patients using COSOPT should follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions carefully. It is essential to inform your doctor about any medical conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and any medications you are currently taking. Regular eye exams and monitoring of intraocular pressure are crucial to ensure the effectiveness and safety of COSOPT treatment.
