This medication carries important safety considerations that should be carefully reviewed. If you have any questions or concerns, please discuss them with your healthcare provider.

• Allergic Reactions: Dorzolamide may cause severe allergic reactions, especially if you are allergic to sulfa drugs, as it is a sulfa-based medication. Watch for signs such as difficulty breathing, skin rash, redness, itching, or swelling. Seek immediate medical assistance if these symptoms occur. Additionally, if you experience irritation, pain, or itching in or around your eyes, contact your healthcare provider.

• Eye Infection Risk: To prevent contamination and subsequent eye infections such as bacterial keratitis, ensure your hands are washed before using dorzolamide. Avoid contact between the dropper tip and any surface, including your eye, and do not touch the dropper with your hands.

• Corneal Swelling Risk: Dorzolamide may increase the risk of corneal edema, particularly if your cornea is already thin or has a low number of cells. It is important to consult your eye specialist before beginning treatment if you have been informed of these conditions.

No specific contraindications are noted for dorzolamide, but always use medications under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

When taking this medication, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as temporary blurred vision, burning, stinging, or itching in the eye, redness, watery eyes, dry eyes, sensitivity to light, a bitter taste in the mouth, or headaches. These effects are generally not serious and often resolve on their own. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.

In some cases, users may experience other side effects like bacterial eye infection, allergic reactions in the eye, pink eye, eyelid irritation, or tearing. While these are less common, you should inform your healthcare provider if they occur.

There are rare but serious side effects that require immediate medical attention. These include significant vision changes, symptoms of a kidney stone such as pain in the back, side, or abdomen, yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, unusual tiredness, easy bruising, or signs of infection like a persistent sore throat. Additionally, severe allergic reactions, while very rare, may manifest as eye redness or discharge that doesn't stop, eye or eyelid swelling, eye pain, rash, severe dizziness, trouble breathing, or swelling of the face, tongue, or throat. Urgent medical care is necessary if you experience any of these severe symptoms.

This list of side effects is not exhaustive. If you notice any other unusual effects, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
