Azopt Eye Drop (Brinzolamide)

In Glaucoma

 

Azopt Opthalmic Suspension belongs to a group of medicines called carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. It is used to reduce pressure in your eyes. This pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. You should only use it in the affected eye and take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled. This could lead to a loss of sight.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them.

Azopt Opthalmic Suspension is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
