Introduction

Misopt Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines used in the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It decreases the fluid (aqueous humor) production in the eye which relieves the pressure in the eye. This way it relieves the symptoms.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

Misopt Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Dorzolamide and Timolol. Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and Timolol is a beta blocker. They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Remove contact lenses before using Misopt Eye Drop Wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after putting the medication. For best results, put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s). To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. When applying multiple eye medications, wait for at least 5-15 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution of the medicine.
