Overview
Trusopt 2% Eye Drop contains dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to lower elevated pressure inside the eye in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
Dorzolamide works by blocking the carbonic anhydrase enzyme in the eye, which reduces the production of aqueous humour (the fluid inside the eye), lowering intraocular pressure and helping to protect the optic nerve from damage.
How it Works
Trusopt inhibits carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary body of the eye, an enzyme needed to produce aqueous humour; by reducing fluid production, it lowers the pressure inside the eye without significantly affecting fluid drainage.
Directions for Use
Wash your hands before use. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instil one drop into the pocket formed; avoid letting the dropper tip touch the eye or any surface. Press gently on the inner corner of the eye for about a minute after instilling to reduce systemic absorption.
Dosage
The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) three times daily, or as directed by your doctor; if using other eye drops at the same time, space them at least ten minutes apart.
Shelf Life
Refer to the expiry date printed on the packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Discard the bottle 4 weeks after first opening.

Drug / Food Interactions
- Oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, such as acetazolamide: combined use increases the risk of additive side effects and is not usually recommended.
- High-dose salicylates (aspirin): may increase the risk of side effects when combined with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
- Other eye drops: if using more than one type of eye drop, space them at least ten minutes apart to avoid one washing out the other.
- Inform your doctor of all medicines you are taking, including other eye medications.
Quick Tips
- If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before applying this eye drop and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
- Press gently on the inner corner of your eye for about a minute after each drop to reduce the amount absorbed into your body.
- Your vision may be temporarily blurred after application – wait until it clears before driving or operating machinery.
- Use this medicine regularly as prescribed, even if you have no symptoms, as glaucoma can progress without noticeable symptoms.
