Dorzolamide Eye Drops IP

CIPVISION DORZONIX 2% contains Dorzolamide Eye Drops IP, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Increased pressure inside the eye can gradually damage the optic nerve and may lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated. Dorzolamide works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye), thereby lowering intraocular pressure and helping preserve vision.

CIPVISION DORZONIX 2% may be prescribed alone or in combination with other anti-glaucoma medications when additional pressure control is required. Regular use as directed by an ophthalmologist is essential for effective long-term management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
