Dorzolamide (topical) is used in the treatment of glaucoma.

• Dorzolamide (topical) helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss.
• For best results, put one drop 2-3 times daily in the affected eye(s).
• Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop. This minimizes the risk of side effects.
• Take care to prevent contact of eye dispenser with eye, eyelid, eyelashes, or finger to avoid infection.
• Remove contact lenses before using Betagan and allow at least 15 minutes before re-inserting them.
• When applying multiple eye medications, wait for at least 5-15 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
