Dorzolamide Aurobindo is a sterile eye drop. Dorzolamide Aurobindo contains dorzolamide, a sulfonamide substance, as the active ingredient.
Dorzolamide Aurobindo is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor for ophthalmic use that reduces intraocular hypertension.
It is indicated for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in conditions such as ocular hypertension and glaucoma (open-angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma). Dorzolamide Aurobindo may
be used as monotherapy or in association with other drugs that reduce eye pressure (called
beta-blockers).

3. How to use Dorzolamide Aurobindo
Use this medicine following the doctor's instructions exactly. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor
or pharmacist.
The doctor will establish the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment.
When Dorzolamide Aurobindo is administered alone, the usual dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) three times a day, for example in the morning, afternoon and evening.
If the doctor has prescribed the use of Dorzolamide Aurobindo in association with a beta-blocker eye drop
(medicines that reduce eye pressure), then the usual dose is one drop of Dorzolamide
Aurobindo in the affected eye(s) twice a day, for example in the morning and evening.
If Dorzolamide Aurobindo is used together with another eye drop, you must allow at least 10 minutes between
the instillation of Dorzolamide Aurobindo and the other medicine. Alternatively, if you need to use Dorzolamide
Aurobindo instead of another eye drop used to lower eye pressure, stop the other
medicine after having taken the appropriate dosage for that day and start treatment with Dorzolamide
Aurobindo the next day.
Do not change the dosage of the medicine without first consulting your doctor. If you need to stop the
treatment, contact your doctor immediately.
Avoid contact of the dropper tip with the eye or surrounding areas. It could
become contaminated with bacteria that can cause infections responsible for serious eye damage, including loss of
vision. To avoid possible bacterial contamination, avoid contact of the dropper tip with
any surface.

It is recommended to wash your hands before using the eye drops.
It may be easier to apply the eye drops in front of a mirror.

- 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other eye, if the doctor has prescribed treatment for both eyes
- 6. Replace the cap and close the bottle immediately after use. If you use more Dorzolamide Aurobindo than you shouldIf you put too much eye drops in your eye or swallow some, contact your doctor immediately.
