What is Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide) used for?

Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide) is an ophthalmic medication used to treat open angle glaucoma, pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma, or elevated pressure within the eye. It lowers the amount of fluid in the eye to reduce pressure and alleviate symptoms associated with this condition including pain, loss of vision, or possible damage to the optic nerve. Your physician may also prescribe it to treat other conditions that are not listed here.

How should I use Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide)?

Use Dorzox Eye Drops (Dorzolamide) according to your physician's instructions to get the most effective results from treatment. One drop is normally administered each evening, but your individual dosage will depend on your health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. Wash your hands before each use to remove any dirt or contaminants. Shake the bottle gently to mix its contents and observe the solution to make sure it is not cloudy or discolored as this may indicate contamination. Tilt the head back slightly, pull down the lower lid of the eye being treated, hold the bottle over the eye, and dispense one drop. Slowly close the eyelid to spread the medication and keep the eye closed for ten seconds to allow it to be absorbed. Wash your hands after each use to prevent the solution from contacting areas not being treated or the mucous membranes. Ask your physician any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct administration.
