WHAT DORZOLAMIDE TIMOLOL Preservative Free EYE DROPS IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR?
Dorzolamide Timolol Preservative Free Eye Drops ( Vizidor Duo Eye Drops ) contains two medicines: dorzolamide and timolol.
Dorzolamide belongs to a group of medicines called “carbonic anhydrase inhibitors”.
Timolol belongs to a group of medicines called “beta blockers”.
These medicines lower the pressure in the eye in different ways.
Vizidor Duo Eye Drops is prescribed to lower raised pressure in the eye in the treatment of glaucoma when beta-blocker eye drop medicine used alone is not adequate.
Visit an opticians or a GP if you have any concerns about your vision.
If you have glaucoma, early diagnosis and treatment can help stop your vision getting worse.
Without treatment, glaucoma can eventually lead to blindness.
If you develop symptoms of glaucoma suddenly, go to your nearest eye casualty unit or A&E as soon as possible.
This is a medical emergency that may require immediate treatment.
There are several different types of glaucoma.
The most common is called primary open angle glaucoma. This tends to develop slowly over many years.
It’s caused by the drainage channels in the eye becoming gradually clogged over time.
Other types of glaucoma include:
acute angle closure glaucoma – an uncommon type caused by the drainage in the eye becoming suddenly blocked, which can raise the pressure inside the eye very quickly

How To Use
HOW TO USE Vizidor Duo Eye Drops (DORZOLAMIDE TIMOLOL EYE DROPS)
Always use Vizidor Duo Eye Drops exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. The appropriate dosage and duration of treatment will be established by your doctor.
The recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) in the morning and in the evening.
If you are using Dorzolamide / Timolol with another eye drop, the drops should be instilled at least 10 minutes apart.
Do not change the dose of the drug without consulting your doctor.
Do not allow the tip of the container to touch the eye or areas around the eye. It may become contaminated with bacteria that can cause eye infections leading to serious damage of the eye, even loss of vision. To avoid possible contamination of the container, wash your hands before using this medicine and keep the tip of the container away from contact with any surface.
If you think your medication may be contaminated, or if you develop an eye infection, contact your doctor immediately concerning continued use of this bottle.
Instructions for use
Always wash your hands before applying eye drops.
Apply your eye drops in the following way:
1. Remove protective cap.
2. Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.
3. Gently pull the lower eyelid down until there is a small pocket.
4. Squeeze the upturned dropper bottle to release a drop into your eye.
5. Whilst keeping the affected eye closed, press your finger against the corner of the closed eye (the side where the eye meets the nose) and hold for 2 minutes. This helps to stop timolol getting into the rest of the body.
Avoid touching the dropper tip against your eye or anything else.
Replace and tighten the cap straight after use.
If you use more Dorzolamide / Timolol than you should
If you put too many drops in your eye or swallow any of the contents of the container, among other effects, you may become light-headed, have difficulty breathing, or feel that your heart rate has slowed. Contact your doctor immediately.
If you forget to use Dorzolamide / Timolol
It is important to use Dorzolamide / Timolol as prescribed by your doctor.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose.
If you stop using Dorzolamide Timolol Eye drops
If you want to stop using this medicine talk to your doctor first.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

This medicine contains 0.003 mg benzalkonium chloride in each drop which is equivalent to 0.075 mg/ml. Benzalkonium chloride may be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may change the colour of the contact lenses. You should remove contact lenses before using this medicine and put them back 15 minutes afterwards. Benzalkonium chloride may also cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eyes or disorders of the cornea (the clear layer at the front of the eye). If you feel abnormal eye sensation, stinging or pain in the eye after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
Side Effects
Like all medicines, Vizidor Duo Eye Drops can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
You can usually carry on taking the drops, unless the effects are serious. If you’re worried, talk to a doctor or pharmacist. Do not stop using Dorzolamide / Timolol without speaking to your doctor.
Serious side effects
If you develop generalized allergic reactions including swelling beneath the skin that can occur in areas such as the face and limbs, and can obstruct the airway which may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing, hives or itchy rash, localized and generalized rash, itchiness or a severe sudden life-threatening allergic reaction, you should stop using Dorzolamide / Timolol and seek medical advice immediately.
