Patient summary
Dorzolamide 2% eye drops, used in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor acting at the ciliary processes.
Mechanism of action
Dorzolamide inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye, decreasing the secretion of aqueous humour and effectively reducing elevated intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma.
Trusopt is an established brand containing dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor formulated to help manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension. This medication is supplied as a 2% ophthalmic solution in a convenient bottle to help manage intraocular pressure.
