How Does It Work?

• Dortas T eye drops contain a combination of timolol and dorzolamide as active substances.
• Dorzolamide acts by decreasing the aqueous humor (fluid-filled in the eye) secretion and thus decreasing the fluid flow.
• Timolol acts by decreasing the aqueous humor production within the eye thereby lowering the fluid pressure built up within your eye.

• Since Dortas T eye drops are to be used externally, it is less likely to interact with other medicines.
• However, consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines for treating any other health conditions.
• In particular, if you are taking medicines to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, high/abnormal cholesterol levels, blood thinners, anti-infectives, anti-diabetics, anti-asthmatics, pain killers, immunomodulatory medicines or medicines for the brain-related disorder.
