What is Trusopt?
Dorzolamide reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, which decreases pressure inside the eye.
Trusopt (for the eyes) is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and other causes of high pressure inside the eye.
Trusopt may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important Information
Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.
Before taking this medicine
You should not use Trusopt if you are allergic to it.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had:
-
a sulfa drug allergy;
-
narrow-angle glaucoma;
-
kidney disease; or
-
liver disease.
It is not known whether Trusopt will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.

How should I use Trusopt?
Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.
Do not use this medicine while wearing soft contact lenses. A preservative in the medicine could discolor the lenses. Use the medicine at least 15 minutes before inserting your contact lenses.
Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
To apply the eye drops:
-
Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye with the tip down. Look up and away from the dropper and squeeze out a drop.
-
Close your eyes for 2 or 3 minutes with your head tipped down, without blinking or squinting. Gently press your finger to the inside corner of the eye for about 1 minute, to keep the liquid from draining into your tear duct.
-
Use only the number of drops your doctor has prescribed. If you use more than one drop, wait about 5 minutes between drops.
-
Wait at least 10 minutes before using any other eye drops your doctor has prescribed.
Do not touch the tip of the eye dropper or place it directly on your eye. A contaminated dropper can infect your eye, which could lead to serious vision problems.
Do not use the eye drops if the liquid has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medicine.
Store at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any eye injury, infection, or surgery. You may need to stop using Trusopt for a short time.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Use the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call 115.
What should I avoid while using Trusopt?
Trusopt may cause blurred vision and may impair your reactions. Avoid driving or hazardous activity until you know how this medicine will affect you.
Do not use other eye medications unless your doctor tells you to.
Trusopt side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction (hives, difficult breathing, swelling in your face or throat) or a severe skin reaction (fever, sore throat, burning eyes, skin pain, red or purple skin rash with blistering and peeling).
