Dorzox T 5 ml Eye Drop

Dorzox T 5 ml Eye Drops is a drug formulated to cure open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, two conditions where there is elevated pressure within the eyes. Dorzox T Eye Drops contains two active pharmaceutical ingredients i.e., Dorzolamide an inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, which decreases the production of fluids in the eye, and Timolol, a beta-blocker that reduces fluid production and enhances fluid drainage in the eye.
