Benzalkonium Chloride + Dorzolamide

Uses of Benzalkonium Chloride + Dorzolamide

  • The primary use of BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE + DORZOLAMIDE is to manage elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. It is part of the group of ophthalmic medications.

  • Secondly, it also helps to maintain the sterility of multi-dose ophthalmic solutions, preventing microbial growth in the containers.

Side effects of Benzalkonium Chloride + Dorzolamide

  • Eye irritation

  • Stinging sensation in the eye

  • Allergic reactions

  • Taste disturbances

  • Headache

How Benzalkonium Chloride + Dorzolamide works

  • BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE + DORZOLAMIDE is an ophthalmic combination.

  • Benzalkonium Chloride is a preservative. It performs its action by disrupting the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, and other harmful microorganisms, causing them to die. This helps to keep multi-dose eye solutions sterile and free from contamination.

  • Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It acts by slowing down the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the eye. This results in decreased production of aqueous humour, a clear fluid that fills the front part of the eye. Reduced production of this fluid lowers pressure within the eye which is beneficial for managing conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension where intraocular pressure may be elevated.

  • Together, these components work in tandem to prevent microbial growth in the medication container while also reducing intraocular pressure in the eye.
