About Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml

Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml belongs to a class of eye-related medicine called 'antiglaucoma' primarily used to treat increased pressure in the eye. It helps to prevent the gradual loss of vision or eyesight by lowering the increased pressure in the eyes. Glaucoma is an eye problem in which the optic nerve is damaged, thereby leading to increased eye pressure, and if left untreated, it can lead to permanent blindness.

Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml contains Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by lowering the pressure in the eye. Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml should be put only in the infected eye, and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.

Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml is for external use only. Before using it, break the seal and wash your hands to avoid infection. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml, and you can put them back 15 minutes after using Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml. You may sometimes experience blurred vision, a burning sensation, and a bitter taste in the mouth. Most of these side effects of Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml are temporary, do not require medical attention, and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Put Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml in your eyes only if the doctor has prescribed you. Never encourage self-medication or suggest your medicine to someone else. You should not stop taking Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml abruptly as it may increase eye pressure. Do not take the Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml if you are allergic to sulphonamides or have a severe kidney problem. Check with your doctor before starting Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml if you have dry eyes, cornea problem, or liver disease. Also, Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml does not stop Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml abruptly as it may lead to severe side effects. Do not take any other eye medication with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml without consulting your doctor.

DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VDisorders of porphyrin and bilirubin metabolism
Severe
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. Patients with porphyria should use topical sulfonamide therapy with caution because these medications can cause an acute attack. In patients with porphyria, the administration of oral sulfonamides is regarded as contraindicated.

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml should be used with caution in patients with porphyria as it may cause an acute attack.
DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VObstructive and reflux uropathy
Severe
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. Although Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and other severe dermatologic reactions are uncommon in general, using sulfonamides is linked to significant increases in risk. As a result of sulfonamide hypersensitivity, hepatitis, pneumonitis, and interstitial nephritis have also been reported. Individuals with severe allergies, bronchial asthma, or AIDS should be treated with caution with topical sulfonamides due to the possibility of potentially serious hypersensitivity reactions in these individuals.

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml should be used with caution in patients with severe allergies, bronchial asthma or AIDS since these patients may be at increased risk for potentially severe hypersensitivity reactions. If you have severe headache, high fever, stomatitis (painful swelling and sores inside the mouth), rhinitis (stuffy nose), conjunctivitis (pink eye), urethritis (inflammation of the urethra), and balanitis (inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis), contact your doctor immediately as these may be signs and symptoms of the Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VObstructive and reflux uropathy
Severe
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. In addition to methemoglobinemia, sulfhemoglobinemia, leukopenia, granulocytopenia, eosinophilia, hemolytic anaemia, aplastic anaemia, purpura, coagulation problems, thrombocytopenia, hypofibrinogenemia, and hypoprothrombinemia, the use of sulfonamides has also been linked to hematologic damage. Patients who already have blood dyscrasias or marrow suppression should use topical sulfonamide therapy with caution.

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml should be used with caution in patients with preexisting blood disorders or bone marrow suppression. Complete blood counts should be obtained regularly during prolonged therapy (more than 2 weeks). If you develop sore throat, fever, local infection, bleeding, pallor (pale skin), dizziness, or jaundice, contact your doctor immediately as these may be signs or symptoms of blood disease/disorder.
DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VOther abnormal findings in urine
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. Due to the sulfonamide and/or its N4-acetyl metabolite precipitating in the urinary tract, the usage of sulfonamides has been linked to crystalluria. There have been reports of renal toxicity, including hematuria, proteinuria, increased BUN and creatinine, uro- and nephrolithiasis, nephritis, toxic nephrosis, and more. During the use of sulfonamides, hydration and sufficient urine output (> 1.5 L/day) should be maintained. Patients who are dehydrated (for example, from severe vomiting or diarrhoea) may be more susceptible to developing crystalluria and lithiasis, hence it is important to encourage them to drink more liquids. Regular urinalysis and renal function testing should be carried out throughout extended therapy (> 2 weeks).

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml may be systemically absorbed when applied to the eye. Patients who are dehydrated are at increased risk for the development of crystalluria. Hence, hydration and adequate urinary output (greater than 1.5 L/day) should be maintained while using this medicine. Kidney function tests and urinalysis (urine test) should be performed regularly during prolonged therapy (more than 2 weeks).
DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VOther diseases of liver
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. Rarely have individuals using sulfonamides reported experiencing hepatotoxicity, including jaundice, diffuse hepatocellular necrosis, hypersensitivity hepatitis, and hepatic failure. Additionally, the liver only partially metabolises sulfonamides, which might build up in people with impaired liver function. Patients with liver illnesses should use topical sulfonamide therapy with caution.

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml should be used with caution in patients with liver disease.
DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VOther disorders of kidney and ureter, not elsewhere classified
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. Sulfonamides and their metabolites are filtered out by the kidney after absorption. Due to slower medication clearance, patients with renal impairment may be more susceptible to sulfonamide side effects. Sulfonamides can also result in toxic nephrosis, hematuria, proteinuria, increased BUN, and creatinine levels, in addition to renal damage related to crystalluria. During the use of sulfonamides, hydration and sufficient urine output (> 1.5 L/day) should be maintained. Regular urinalysis and renal function testing should be carried out throughout extended therapy (> 2 weeks). Some producers of topical sulfonamide medications advise against using them in patients with compromised renal function.

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml may be systemically absorbed when applied to the eye, and its metabolites are eliminated by the kidney. Hydration and adequate urinary output (greater than 1.5 L/day) should be maintained while using this medicine. Kidney function tests and urinalysis (urine test) should be performed regularly during prolonged therapy (more than 2 weeks).
DORZOLAMIDE-2%W/VObstructive and reflux uropathy
Moderate
How does the disease interact with Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml:
When sulfonamides are administered to the skin, eye, or mucosal membranes, they may be absorbed systemically. Sulfonamides are ingested, then eliminated and concentrated in the urine. Patients who have urinary blockage or retention should receive topical sulfonamide therapy carefully since excessive medication accumulation may occur.

How to manage the interaction:
Dorsenz Eye Drop 5 ml may be systemically absorbed when applied to the eye and is excreted and concentrated in the urine. Hence, it should be used with caution in patients with urinary obstruction or retention since excessive drug accumulation may occur. Kidney function tests and urinalysis (urine test) should be performed regularly during prolonged therapy (more than 2 weeks).
