Azopt Opthalmic Suspension 5 ml is used to treat increased pressure in eye conditions, such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye.

Azopt Opthalmic Suspension 5 ml contains Brinzolamide, which works by blocking an enzyme that makes eye fluid. This reduces the amount of fluid (aqueous humour) in the eye, which lowers the pressure inside the eyeball and helps protect vision.

In some cases, you may experience eye discharge, redness, itching, irritation or pain in the eyes, blurred vision, abnormal eye sensation and dry eyes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

• It reduces the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) and lowers the pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.
• It helps protect the optic nerve from potential damage.
• It slows the progression of vision loss in glaucoma and related conditions.
