Overview Azopt Opthalmic Suspension

Brinzolamide ophthalmic suspension lowers elevated eye pressure in individuals diagnosed with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Untreated high eye pressure risks vision impairment. This medication reduces intraocular fluid, thereby decreasing pressure. Discard the suspension if the seal is broken prior to initial use. Always wash your hands and shake the bottle vigorously before each application. Remove contact lenses before administration; reinsert after at least fifteen minutes. Discontinue use only under your physician's guidance; uncontrolled pressure can harm your vision. Common side effects include blurred vision and a bitter taste. Less frequent side effects may include shortness of breath, dizziness, fatigue, or rapid heartbeat. Refrain from driving if vision is impaired. Avoid use if you have severe kidney disease or sulphonamide allergy. Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, dry eyes, or corneal issues. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Avoid concurrent use of other eye medications unless explicitly instructed by your doctor.
