This product is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used in the form of eye drops to lower intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
The formulation typically comes in a 5ml bottle and is designed for topical ocular use.
Benefits:
-Decrease in intraocular pressure in ocular hypertension and open angle glaucoma, helping to prevent damage to the optic nerve.
-Can be used alone or in combination with other medications for enhanced efficacy.
-Non-systemic absorption minimizes side effects compared to oral medications.
Precautions:
-Patients with a known hypersensitivity to brinzolamide or any component of the formulation should avoid using AZOPT.
-Caution is advised for individuals with severe renal impairment, as the drug may accumulate and lead to adverse effects.
-Contact lenses should be removed before application and can be reinserted after 15 minutes.
Side Effects:
-Common side effects include blurred vision, dry eyes, and a bitter taste upon instillation.
-Less common but serious side effects may include allergic reactions, conjunctivitis, and corneal deposits.
-If severe eye irritation or changes in vision occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.
Main Ingredients and Their Benefits:
-It is primarily used to treat elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent vision loss.
-As a topical medication, brinzolamide acts directly at the site of application, minimizing systemic side effects compared to oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
-Brinzolamide can be used in conjunction with other antiglaucoma medications to enhance overall efficacy and improve intraocular pressure control.
