Cozopt Eye Drop 2% + 0.5% is a combination ophthalmic medication containing Dorzolamide and Timolol. It is used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, particularly when treatment with a single medication is not sufficient.

Elevated intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve over time, leading to progressive vision loss and glaucoma. Cozopt Eye Drop combines two medicines with different mechanisms of action to effectively lower eye pressure and help preserve vision. Regular use as prescribed by an ophthalmologist is essential for achieving optimal treatment outcomes and reducing the risk of glaucoma-related complications.

Composition

Each ml of ophthalmic solution contains:

• Dorzolamide Hydrochloride equivalent to Dorzolamide 2%
• Timolol Maleate equivalent to Timolol 0.5%

Indications

Cozopt Eye Drop is indicated for the treatment of:

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Elevated intraocular pressure inadequately controlled with beta-blocker or other single-agent therapy

How Cozopt Eye Drop Works

Cozopt Eye Drop combines two active ingredients that work together to lower intraocular pressure:

• Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that decreases the production of aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye), reducing intraocular pressure.
• Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that also reduces aqueous humor production, further lowering eye pressure.

Together, these medicines provide greater pressure reduction than either medication alone, helping protect the optic nerve and preserve vision.

Dosage and Administration

• Use Cozopt Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
• The usual recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily, or as directed by your physician.
• Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye, eyelids, or any surface to prevent contamination.
• Close your eyes gently for 1–2 minutes after instillation and apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of the eye to reduce systemic absorption.
• If using other ophthalmic medications, wait at least 5–10 minutes between applications.
• Remove contact lenses before using the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, unless otherwise advised.
