Dorzolamide is a medication used for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces the production of aqueous humor, thereby lowering intraocular pressure.
The medication is available as eye drops and is usually administered two or three times 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, 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 Dorzolamide. Follow the administration instructions to ensure treatment effectiveness.
