Dorzolamide-Timolol (Cosopt) Uses

The combination of dorzolamide and timolol is used to treat eye conditions such as ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma. Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the blood pressure in the eye is elevated. Glaucoma is a condition in which there is increased intraocular pressure (increased pressure inside the eye), which can damage the optic nerve and cause a gradual but permanent loss of vision.

There may be other uses of dorzolamide and timolol. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist can give you further dorzolamide-timolol drug information.
