Ingredients:
Active ingredient: Dorzolamide hydrochloride. Inactive ingredients: Benzalkonium chloride, mannitol, hydroxyethyl cellulose, sodium citrate, sodium hydroxide, and water.
Mechanism of Action:
Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, reduces intraocular pressure by inhibiting the enzyme in the ciliary processes of the eye, thus decreasing aqueous humor production.
Pharmacological Properties:
Pharmacological Effects: Dorzolamide works by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye, reducing the production of aqueous humor and lowering intraocular pressure. This mechanism of action helps in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Indications for Use:
Dorzoptik eye drops are indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
