Overview
Azopt Eye Drops (5ml) from Alcon contain brinzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to lower raised pressure inside the eye. Brinzolamide reduces the amount of fluid the eye makes, easing the high pressure that can damage the optic nerve in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It can be used on its own or alongside other glaucoma drops. By controlling eye pressure, Azopt helps protect vision over the long term. A trusted, doctor-prescribed glaucoma drop for people needing to keep their eye pressure under control.
Active: Brinzolamide 10mg/ml (1%). Preservative: benzalkonium chloride.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Use only as directed by your eye doctor. Usually one drop into the affected eye(s) twice or three times daily. Shake the bottle well. Wash your hands, tilt your head back, pull down the lower lid and instil the drop without touching the dropper tip to the eye, then close the eye and press the inner corner for one to two minutes. Keep using it daily even though glaucoma usually has no symptoms, and attend regular eye-pressure checks.
Tell your doctor about a known sulfonamide (sulfa) allergy, as brinzolamide is related, and about kidney or liver problems. Vision may blur briefly and a bitter taste is common after instilling. Wait before driving. Remove contact lenses before use and wait 15 minutes before reinserting. Press the inner corner of the eye after each drop. Use in pregnancy or breastfeeding only on medical advice. Discard 28 days after opening; do not share the bottle.
