Chemical Name: DORZOLAMIDE (dor-ZOLE-a-mide)
Trusopt or dorzolamide is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma. This medicine works by lowering the blood pressure inside the eye to prevent blindness. It also decreases the amount of fluid in the eye and is known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It can also be used for the treatment of similar eye diseases. You can purchase Trusopt eye drops online from Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
You are recommended to use this medication solely for your eyes, by using one drop in the affected eye thrice a day, or as instructed by your doctor for optimal results. Before applying eye drops, wash your hands and do not touch your other eye to avoid contamination.
If you use lenses, take them out before Trusopt’s application. Tilt your head back, look upwards, and pull your lower eyelid down. Hold the dropper over your eye and place one drop. Close your eyes for two minutes and gently press. Avoid blinking or rubbing your eyes to prevent draining. Don’t rinse the dropper.
