Description

💊 Dorzox PF Eye Drop 2% (5 ml) Product Description

Dorzox PF Eye Drop 2% is a specialized ophthalmic solution formulated to manage elevated intraocular pressure. As a Preservative-Free (PF) formula, it is specifically designed for patients with sensitive eyes or those who require long-term therapy and wish to avoid the irritation often associated with traditional preservatives like benzalkonium chloride.

The active ingredient, Dorzolamide, belongs to a class of medications known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye), which effectively lowers internal eye pressure and helps prevent potential damage to the optic nerve.

Key Benefits:

• Effective Pressure Control: Significantly reduces intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• Preservative-Free Formula: Minimizes the risk of ocular surface irritation, making it ideal for chronic use and sensitive eyes.
• Optic Nerve Protection: By maintaining healthy pressure levels, it helps preserve long-term vision and eye health.
• Targeted Action: Acts locally within the eye to provide potent results with reduced systemic absorption.

🛡️ Precautions

Is Dorzox PF Eye Drop 2% (5 ml) Right for You?

Before using this medication, inform your specialist if you have a known allergy to sulfonamides (sulfa drugs), as Dorzolamide is a sulfonamide derivative. Use with caution if you have significant kidney or liver impairment. Always remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

DO NOT STOP SUDDENLY: Stopping this medication without consulting your ophthalmologist can lead to a rapid increase in eye pressure, which may permanently damage your vision. Always follow the prescribed tapering or maintenance schedule.
