How Does It Work?
Cosopt is a prescription eye drop solution used to treat open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension when a beta-blocking medicine alone does not work to control the eye pressure. Cosopt eye drops contain a combination of dorzolamide and timolol. Dorzolamide reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, which decreases pressure inside the eye. Timolol is a beta-blocker that also reduces pressure inside the eye.
Side Effects
Common Cosopt side effects may include: a bitter or unusual taste in your mouth after using the eye drops; blurred vision; watery eyes; or redness, burning, stinging, or itching in your eyes. Serious side effects may occur if the medicine is absorbed into your bloodstream. Cosopt can cause serious breathing problems or heart failure. Get medical help if you have: fast, slow or pounding heartbeats; wheezing; shortness of breath; or swelling in your lower legs, rapid weight gain. Call your doctor at once if you have: worsening muscle weakness; eye redness or swelling; droopy eyelids, vision problems; or damage to your cornea (the clear layer in front of the iris and pupil) – eye redness, watery eyes, decreased vision, increased sensitivity to light.
