How Dorzox T Pf Eye Drops works

Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that decreases aqueous humour formation, lowering intraocular pressure. Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that also reduces aqueous humour production, providing additive IOP-lowering effect.

How to take Dorzox T Pf Eye Drops

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily or as prescribed. Wash hands before use; avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye. If using other eye drops, keep a gap of 5–10 minutes. Remove contact lenses before instillation and reinsert only if advised; follow doctor’s instructions for PF packs.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from eye use; flush the eye with clean water if too much is instilled. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
