Question 1

How long does a bottle of Trusopt last?

Accepted Answer

A bottle of Trusopt typically lasts for four weeks after opening. The solution contains a preservative that helps prevent bacterial growth during this period. After four weeks, the risk of contamination increases, which could lead to eye infections. Therefore, it is recommended that a new bottle be opened after this time.

Question 2

What should be the gap between two different Trusopt eye drops?

Accepted Answer

It is highly recommended that you should wait at least 10 minutes before applying different Trusopt eye drops. This interval allows the first drop to be absorbed properly & reduces the risk of it being washed out by the second drop, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Question 3

Can dorzolamide hydrochloride affect the kidneys?

Accepted Answer

Dorzolamide hydrochloride, the active ingredient in Trusopt, has been linked with an increased chance of kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) in some cases. Patients with a history of kidney stones may want to consider alternative glaucoma medications after consulting their healthcare provider.

Question 4

Are Trusopt eye drops safe?

Accepted Answer

Trusopt eye drops are considered safe when used as directed. The pharmaceutical industry ensures that eye drops are sterile, stable, and effective. Due to these stringent safety measures, infections from using eye drops are extremely rare. However, following proper usage instructions is important to minimize risks.
