Description

Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep is a medicine used to reduce pressure in the eyes. This pressure can be caused by or lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high it can damage your sight. Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep works by decreasing the amount of fluid inside the eye. Never use Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Wash your hands before using it and shake the bottle well before each use. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. Do not stop using this medicine without asking your doctor. Otherwise the pressure in your eye will not be controlled and this could damage your sight. The most common side effects of Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep are blurred vision and bitter taste in your mouth. Sometimes people experience more general effects such as headache, nausea, tiredness or eye irritation. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear. Do not use this medicine if you have severe kidney problems or are allergic to medicines called sulphonamides. Talk to your doctor before taking it if you have liver problems, dry eyes or cornea problems. Do not use other eye medications unless your doctor tells you to. Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Indications

• Glaucoma

Mechanism of action

Timolol maleate, a nonselective beta-adrenergic blocker, reduces aqueous humor formation. Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, has actions similar to acetazolamide. By inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye, dorzolamide decreases aqueous humor secretion. Used together, there is additional intraocular pressure reduction compared to using either component alone, but the reduction is not as much as concomitant admin of dorzolamide tid and timolol bid.

Dosage

Adult Dose: Ophthalmic Ocular hypertension; Open-angle glaucoma Adult: Instill 1 drop to the affected eye bid. Child Dose: Ophthalmic Ocular hypertension; Open-angle glaucoma 2 years Instill 1 drop to the affected eye bid. Renal Dose: Renal impairment: CrCl (ml/min) <30 Not recommended.

Precautions & warnings

[CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR] It is not known whether Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep alters the ability to drive. Do not drive if you experience any symptoms that affect your ability to concentrate and react. Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduce the risk of vision loss. For best results, put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s). Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop. This minimizes the risk of side effects. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops. Remove contact lenses before using Dorzolamide 2% + Timolol 0.5% Eye prep, and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them. When applying multiple eye medications, wait for at least 5-15 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution of the medicine.
