Dorzolamide

Drug Details

Dorzolamide is an eye drop medication designed to manage high eye pressure resulting from open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by reducing the fluid production within the eye, thereby lowering the eye pressure and helping to prevent vision loss. Dorzolamide is classified as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It is typically administered as one drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily. While generally effective, individuals with a severe sulfa allergy should use it cautiously. Common side effects may include a burning or stinging sensation in the eye and a bitter taste in the mouth. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your condition.
