The combination of Dorzolamide + timolol is used for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension in patients who do not respond adequately to monotherapy. Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and Timolol is a beta-blocker; together, they reduce intraocular pressure through complementary mechanisms.

The medication is available as eye drops and is usually administered twice daily, according to the doctor's instructions. It is effective in preventing optic nerve damage and preserving vision.

Side effects may include burning or stinging sensation in the eyes, bitter taste, dry eyes, fatigue, and, in rare cases, allergic reactions. Regular monitoring of intraocular pressure is essential.

Consult your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment with this combination. Follow the administration instructions to ensure treatment effectiveness.
