Overview
Ocudor (Dorzolamide Hcl) 2% Eye Drop contains dorzolamide hydrochloride 2%, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor eye drop used to reduce raised pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
Dorzolamide works by reducing the production of aqueous humour, the fluid inside the eye, by blocking the carbonic anhydrase enzyme in the ciliary body. Producing less fluid lowers the pressure inside the eye, helping to protect the optic nerve from damage.
How it Works
Dorzolamide inhibits carbonic anhydrase II in the ciliary processes of the eye, an enzyme involved in generating aqueous humour. By slowing this enzyme, dorzolamide reduces the rate of fluid production inside the eye, which lowers intraocular pressure.
Directions for Use
Wash your hands before use. Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket, and instil one drop of Ocudor (Dorzolamide Hcl) 2% Eye Drop without letting the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, or any surface. Close your eye gently and apply light pressure to the inner corner of the eye (near the nose) for about 1-2 minutes to reduce drainage into the tear duct and limit systemic absorption. Remove soft contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. If using more than one type of eye drop, space each product at least 10 minutes apart.
Dosage
The usual dose of Ocudor (Dorzolamide Hcl) 2% Eye Drop is one drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily, unless your doctor prescribes it as part of a combination regimen with a different schedule. Your eye specialist will confirm the exact frequency and monitor your eye pressure regularly to assess response.

Drug / Food Interactions

- Other eye drops used at the same time should be spaced at least 10 minutes apart to avoid one drop washing out another

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ocudor (Dorzolamide Hcl) 2% Eye Drop used for?
Ocudor (Dorzolamide Hcl) 2% Eye Drop is an eye drop used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma, helping to protect vision over the long term.

No, dorzolamide does not cure glaucoma; it controls eye pressure to help slow or prevent further damage to the optic nerve. Long-term, regular use as prescribed is important.
Why do I taste something bitter after using this eye drop?

You should remove soft contact lenses before instilling this eye drop and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in, as the solution may affect the lenses.
