Dorzox T Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Dorzolamide and Timolol. Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and Timolol is a beta blocker. They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
In the systemic circulation, dorzolamide is bound mainly to carbonic anhydrase in red blood cells. It is slowly metabolised to N-de-ethyldorzolamide, which in turn is also stored in red blood cells. The very slow elimination (half-life >4 months) of both substances takes place via the renal route.Timolol and its metabolites are mainly found excreted in the urine. Timolol half-life was measured at 2.9 ± 0.3 h hours in a clinical study of healthy volunteers. One pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers measured the total plasma clearance of timolol to be 557 ± 61 ml/min.
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
