About Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml

Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml is generally used when no other medication effectively treats glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml contains Dorzolamide and Timolol. Dorzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and Timolol is a topical beta-blocker. Both help decrease the secretion of aqueous humour (natural fluid present in the eye) by the eye's ciliary body, thereby causing a decrease in eye pressure.

Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The doctor will adjust your dose according to your condition and response to the medicine. In some cases, you may experience itching, stinging sensation, burning sensation in the eye, redness, blurred vision, tiredness, drowsiness, headache and dryness in the mouth. Most of these side effects of Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. You should not use Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml without consulting your doctor if you have an eye infection, allergies, closed-angle glaucoma, thyroid diseases, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart, liver and kidney diseases, diabetes, high or low blood pressure, depression, Raynaud's phenomenon (numbness in various parts of the body) and slow heartbeats that make you faint. Using Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml during breastfeeding is unsafe since Timolol can pass into breast milk and harm a nursing baby. Check with your doctor before using Cosopt Eye Drop 5 ml if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other prescribed or non-prescribed medicines. If you use more than one ophthalmic drug, install each medication with a five-minute gap.
