What is Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide) used for?

Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide) is an ophthalmic solution prescribed to treat patients who are suffering from open angle glaucoma. The medication operates by reducing the amount of fluid in the eye to decrease pressure inside the eye. This can reduce symptoms associated with this condition such as pain, reduced vision, or damage to the retina or optic nerve. Your doctor may also prescribe it for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide)?

Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide) should always be used according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. One drop is normally administered to the affected eye three times daily, but your individual instructions will depend on your age, weight, current health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be administered by gently shaking the bottle to mix its contents, tilting your head backward, pulling down the lower lid of the eye being treated, holding the bottle over the eye, and distributing one drop into the pouch formed. Slowly close the eye to spread the medication over the eye`s surface and keep the eye closed for thirty seconds to allow it to be absorbed. Always observe the medication before each use to ensure it is not cloudy or discoloured as this may indicate contamination. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
