Scientific Evidence
Dorzolamide, the active ingredient in Rezlod, is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces intraocular pressure by decreasing aqueous humor production. Studies have shown its efficacy in lowering intraocular pressure and its role as an adjunctive therapy in glaucoma management
Additional Information
Pharmacological Effects: Dorzolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye, reducing aqueous humor production and lowering intraocular pressure. This mechanism helps in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of dorzolamide in reducing intraocular pressure. A study by Realini et al. (2018) showed that dorzolamide, when used as an adjunctive therapy, significantly lowered intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma
