Indications

These sterile eye drops are indicated for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who have not responded adequately to topical beta-blockers.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Dorzolamide Hydrochloride and Timolol Maleate lower intraocular pressure (IOP) through two complementary actions. Dorzolamide inhibits human carbonic anhydrase II, which slows the formation of bicarbonate ions in the eye; this reduces sodium and fluid transport and, in turn, decreases the secretion of aqueous humor. Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker without significant intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant, or local anesthetic (membrane-stabilizing) activity; it lowers IOP by reducing the formation of aqueous humor in the ciliary epithelium.
