Dorzolamide(CAS: 120279-96-1)

Dorzolamide is an ophthalmic agent commonly used in the treatment of glaucoma. It is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor with the chemical formula C11H16N2O3S. Dorzolamide is known for its ability to reduce intraocular pressure by inhibiting the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the eye's trabecular meshwork.

The main uses of Dorzolamide are in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is available as an ophthalmic suspension and is used to lower intraocular pressure and reduce eye pain associated with increased intraocular pressure.

Dorzolamide is generally considered safe when used as prescribed for the treatment of glaucoma. However, like any medication, it may cause side effects such as burning or stinging in the eye, redness, and changes in taste. It is important to follow usage instructions and consult a healthcare provider if any adverse effects are experienced.

Dorzolamide should be stored at room temperature, away from direct heat and light. It should be kept in a tightly closed container to prevent moisture and contamination. Avoid storing it in humid or damp environments to maintain its efficacy and safety.
