Dorzox T – 5 ml Eye Drop

Dorzox T 5 ml Eye Drop is a combination medication containing dorzolamide and timolol that helps lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eyes. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing the production of fluid in the eye, it helps prevent damage to the optic nerve and maintains healthy vision.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye
• Helps treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension
• Prevents optic nerve damage and loss of vision
• Dual-action formula with dorzolamide and timolol

How It Works:

• Dorzolamide (a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor) reduces the production of fluid in the eye, thereby lowering IOP.
• Timolol (a beta-blocker) decreases the amount of fluid the eye produces by blocking certain receptors, which further helps reduce IOP.
  Together, these ingredients effectively manage elevated pressure in the eyes.

Usage Instructions:

• Instill one drop of Dorzox T in the affected eye(s) twice daily, or as directed by your doctor.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and gently squeeze the dropper to release the drop.
• Close your eyes for a few seconds and apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of the eye to prevent the drop from draining into the throat.
• To avoid contamination, keep the dropper tip away from all surfaces, including the eye.

Possible Side Effects:

• Eye irritation (burning, stinging, itching)
• Dry eyes or blurred vision
• Headache or dizziness
• Fatigue or lightheadedness
• Rare allergic reactions (itching, swelling, rash)

If you experience severe side effects such as vision changes, severe eye pain, or shortness of breath, contact your doctor immediately.
