Cozopt SUD Eye Drop 2% + 0.5% is a sterile single-use ophthalmic solution containing Dorzolamide and Timolol. It is indicated for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, particularly when a single medication does not provide adequate pressure control.
The SUD (Single Unit Dose) formulation is preservative-free, making it an excellent choice for patients with sensitive eyes, those who require long-term glaucoma treatment, or individuals who are intolerant to preservatives found in multidose eye drops. By combining two effective pressure-lowering agents with complementary mechanisms of action, Cozopt SUD Eye Drop helps protect the optic nerve and reduce the risk of progressive vision loss associated with glaucoma.

Composition
Each single-use ophthalmic unit contains:
-
Dorzolamide Hydrochloride equivalent to Dorzolamide 2%
-
Timolol Maleate equivalent to Timolol 0.5%
Indications
Cozopt SUD Eye Drop is indicated for:
-
Open-angle glaucoma

Ocular hypertension
-
Elevated intraocular pressure insufficiently controlled with a single antiglaucoma medication
-
Patients requiring a preservative-free glaucoma treatment
How Cozopt SUD Eye Drop Works
Cozopt SUD Eye Drop contains two active ingredients that work together to lower intraocular pressure:
-
Dorzolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary body, reducing the production of aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye).
-
Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that further decreases aqueous humor production.
The combination provides greater reduction in intraocular pressure than either medicine used alone, helping preserve optic nerve function and reduce the risk of glaucoma progression.
Dosage and Administration
-
Use exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
-
The usual recommended dose is one drop into the affected eye(s) twice daily, or as directed by your physician.
