Product Name: Synigan Ophthalmic Solution 5ml

Product Form: Solution

Pack Size: 5ml

Manufactured By: Barrett Hodgson Pakistan

Used For:

• Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces the production of aqueous humor (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering intraocular pressure.
• Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that also helps reduce the production of aqueous humor, contributing to lower IOP.

Together, these two medications are often prescribed when a single medication isn't sufficient to control eye pressure.

Side Effects:

• Common Side Effects: Eye irritation, burning or stinging in the eyes, blurred vision, and a bitter taste.
• Systemic Side Effects (from Timolol): Dizziness, fatigue, headache, shortness of breath, slow heart rate, and cold extremities. Rarely, it may lead to more severe issues like low blood pressure or worsening of asthma.
• Allergic Reactions: Rash, itching, or swelling around the eyes, or more serious allergic reactions.

Precautions:

• Respiratory Issues: Timolol can worsen conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), so it should be used with caution or avoided in these cases.
• Heart Conditions: Timolol can affect heart rate and blood pressure. It should be used with caution in patients with heart conditions such as bradycardia, heart block, or heart failure.
• Kidney Function: Dorzolamide may need to be used cautiously in individuals with kidney problems, as it can be absorbed into the bloodstream and affect kidney function.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Should be used only when clearly needed and under medical supervision, as both components can pass into breast milk.
