Dorlol Eye Drops 2% + 0.5% (5ml) contain Dorzolamide 2% and Timolol 0.5%, a combination of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a beta-blocker. These eye drops are prescribed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The combination works by decreasing the production of fluid (aqueous humor) inside the eye, helping protect the optic nerve and reduce the risk of vision loss.

Uses

• Treatment of open-angle glaucoma
• Management of ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye)
• Helps reduce intraocular pressure when a single medication is insufficient
• Supports long-term protection of the optic nerve

Benefits

• Effectively lowers elevated eye pressure
• Combines two medicines in one convenient eye drop
• Helps reduce the risk of glaucoma-related vision damage
• Suitable for long-term management under medical supervision
• Easy-to-use ophthalmic solution

Dosage

• Use exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.
• The usual adult dose is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily.
• Wash your hands before use.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any surface.
• If using other eye drops, wait at least 5–10 minutes between applications.
• Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert them after at least 15 minutes, if advised by your doctor.

Prescription Required: Yes.

How It Works

• Dorzolamide reduces the formation of aqueous humor by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase.
• Timolol blocks beta-adrenergic receptors in the eye, further reducing aqueous humor production.

Together, they lower intraocular pressure more effectively than either medicine alone.

Common Side Effects

• Temporary burning or stinging after application
• Blurred vision
• Eye redness or irritation
• Bitter taste in the mouth
• Dry eyes
• Headache
• Dizziness

Seek medical advice if side effects are severe or persistent.
