About Ciaz Duo Eye Drops 5ml

Ciaz Duo Eye Drops 5ml is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eyes). Ciaz Duo Eye Drops 5ml is generally used when no other medication effectively treats glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Ciaz Duo Eye Drops 5ml contains Dorzolamide and Timolol. Dorzolamide is a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, and Timolol is a topical beta-blocker. Both help decrease the secretion of aqueous humour (natural fluid present in the eye) by the eye's ciliary body, thereby causing a decrease in eye pressure.

Ciaz Duo Eye Drops 5ml is taken with or without food in a dose and duration as advised by the doctor. The doctor will adjust your dose according to your condition and response to the medicine.

Most of these side effects of Ciaz Duo Eye Drops 5ml do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
