Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before using TRUSOPT.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any medical problems you currently have or have had in
the past, including eye problems and eye surgery, and about any allergies to other
medicines.
If you develop eye irritation or any other new eye problem, such as
eye redness or eyelid swelling, contact your doctor immediately.
If you suspect that TRUSOPT is causing an allergic reaction (e.g., skin rash,
severe skin reaction or itching), stop using this medicine and contact your
doctor immediately.
Use in Children
TRUSOPT has been studied in infants and children under 6 years of age with increased pressure
in the eye(s) or who have been diagnosed with glaucoma. For more information, consult
your doctor.
Use in the elderly

younger patients were similar.
Use in patients with hepatic impairment
Tell your doctor about any current or past liver problems.
Other medicines and TRUSOPT
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other
medicines (including eye drops). This is particularly important if you are taking another
carbonic anhydrase inhibitor such as acetazolamide or a sulfonamide.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, or if you are
breastfeeding, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
Pregnancy
This medicine should not be used during pregnancy. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or
planning to become pregnant.

Driving and using machines
The effects on the ability to drive and operate machines have not been studied. There are
side effects associated with the use of TRUSOPT, such as dizziness and blurred vision, which
may interfere with the ability to drive and operate machines. You should avoid driving or
using machines until you feel well or your vision is not blurred.
TRUSOPTcontains benzalkonium chloride
TRUSOPT contains the preservative benzalkonium chloride. This preservative can deposit in
soft contact lenses and can alter the coloring of the lenses. If you use contact lenses, you should
consult your doctor before using this medicine.
3. How to use TRUSOPT
Use this medicine following the instructions of your doctor exactly. If you have any doubts, consult your
doctor or pharmacist. The appropriate dose and duration of treatment will be established by your
doctor.
When this medicine is used alone, the recommended dose is one drop to be instilled
into the affected eye(s) in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.
If the doctor has recommended the use of this medicine
together with a beta-blocker-based eye drop to lower eye pressure, the recommended dose is one drop of TRUSOPT to
be instilled into the affected eye(s) in the morning and one in the evening.
If TRUSOPT is used together with other eye drops, the drops must be instilled at intervals of
at least 10 minutes.
The tip of the dropper must not come into contact with the eye or the surrounding areas. It may
become contaminated with bacteria, which can cause eye infections that can
cause serious eye damage, including loss of vision.
To avoid possible contamination, wash your hands before using this medicine and
do not rest the tip of the dropper on any surface. If you think the medicine
may be contaminated or if you develop an eye infection, contact
your doctor immediately before continuing to use the medicine.
Instructions for use:
Do not use the container if the plastic safety seal around the neck of the container is
missing or broken. When you open the container for the first time, tear off the plastic safety seal.
Each time you use TRUSOPT:
- 1. Wash your hands.
- 2. Open the container. Pay particular attention that the tip of the dropper containerdoes not touch the eye, the skin around the eye, or your fingers.
- 3. Tilt your head back and hold the container upside down over your eye.

- 4. Pull down your lower eyelid and look up. Hold the container and gently press on the flattened sides and let one drop fall into the space between your lower eyelid and your eye.

- 5. Press with your finger on the corner of your eye, near your nose, or close your eyelids for 2 minutes. This helps prevent the medicine from passing into the rest of your body.
- 6. Repeat the instructions from 3 to 5 with the other eye if it has been prescribed by your doctor.
- 7. Replace the cap and close the container tightly.

[Only OCUMETER PLUS containers]
- 1. Before using the medicine for the first time, make sure the safety seal located on the front of the container is intact. A space between the container and the cap is normal for a container that has not yet been opened.

►
- 2. First wash your hands then tear off the safety seal to break the seal.

- 3. To open the container, unscrew the cap by rotating it in the direction indicated by the arrows that are on top of the cap. Do not pull the cap directly off the container. Pulling the cap directly off will prevent the dropper from working properly.

- 4. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid, so as to form a pocket between the eyelid and the eye.

- 5. Turn the container upside down and press gently with your thumb or index finger at the compressible area (as shown) until a single drop has been introduced into the eye, as prescribed by your doctor.


DO NOT LET THE TIP OF THE DROPPER COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE EYE OR WITH THE
EYELID.
- 6. If administering the drops is difficult after opening the container for the first time, replace the cap on the container and tighten (not excessively) and then remove by turning the cap in the opposite direction as indicated by the arrows on top of the cap.
- 7. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other eye, if your doctor has prescribed treatment for both eyes.
- 8. Screw the cap back on tightly. The arrow on the left side of the cap must be aligned with the arrow on the left side of the container label for proper closure. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging the container and cap.
- 9. The dropper is calibrated for dispensing a single drop; DO NOT widen the hole in the dropper.
- 10. Once the doses are exhausted, the container will still contain some residual medicine. The container actually contains an excess of medicine to ensure the availability of the complete dose of medicine prescribed by your doctor. Do not remove the excess medicine from the container.
If you use more TRUSOPT than you should
If you instill too many drops into your eye or if you ingest any of the contents of the container, contact
your doctor immediately.
If you forget to use TRUSOPT
It is important that this medicine is administered as prescribed by your doctor. If you forget to instill a dose, take that dose as soon as possible. However, if
it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume
your usual dosing schedule.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose.
If you stop using TRUSOPT
If you want to stop treatment, talk to your doctor first. If you have any doubts
about using this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
