Dorzox Eye Drop 2% (5 ml)

Dorzox eye drop 2% (5ml) helps reduce eye pressure in people with ocular hypertension and prevent optic nerve damage in people with glaucoma. It contains the active ingredient Dorzolamide, which stops the activity of certain enzymes in the body, reducing the amount of fluid (aqueous humour), thus lowering the pressure within the eye. Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent optic nerve damage, which causes blindness. Dorzolamide should not be used in patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients present in the formulation.
