Dorzox Eye Drop 2% is an effective solution for managing intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This medication contains Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye, helping to decrease intraocular pressure. The eye drop formulation is easy to apply and provides quick relief for those struggling with vision problems related to increased eye pressure.
