Cosopt Information:
Cosopt (generic name: Dorzolamide Hydrochloride 2% and Timolol Maleate 0.5%) is an approved combination eye drops prescribed for the treatment of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition where fluid in the eye increases pressure, and this can cause irreversible damage to the optic nerves which in turn leads to loss of vision or blindness. There are many different types of glaucoma, depending on the underlying cause of the damage to the optic nerves. Dorzolamide works by reducing the amount of fluid in the eye, which helps to decrease pressure in the eye, while Timolol is a beta blocker which also reduces pressure built up in the eye. Cosopt is used to treat increased pressure in the eye and open angle glaucoma in patients who cannot use, or have been unresponsive, to other glaucoma medications. Pressure in the eye is called ocular hypertension. Symptoms of pressure in the eye can include soreness, itching and discomfort in the eyes. The eyes may also water due to the increased amount of fluid in the eyes. Cosopt reduces many symptoms of glaucoma.
Cosopt Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from using Cosopt including mild eye discomfort, headache, feeling like something is in your eye, blurred vision, dry or watery eyes and stinging or burning. More serious side effects may include redness or swelling of the eye, pain around the eye, oozing or discharge from the eye, vision changes, increased sensitivity to light, wheezing, gasping, breathing problems, feeling short of breath, sore throat, and chest pain. If you experience any side effects you must seek medical attention immediately for safety.
Cosopt Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed Cosopt to you. Directions and dosage information can also be found on the pack or leaflet inside the pack. Cosopt comes in liquid eye drop form. To use, tilt the head back and pull the bottom eyelid down to make a well, then drop one droplet into the eye. Close the eye and move it around to move the liquid around the eye. Do not touch the nozzle. Cosopt should be stored at room temperature away from direct sunlight and heat.
Cosopt Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Cosopt, you should avoid using it and inform your doctor.
