Synicom Ophthalmic Solution 5ml

Synicom Ophthalmic Solution 5ml contains Dorzolamide + Timolol, a combination glaucoma eye drop. Made by Barrett Hodgson Pakistan Ltd, it is prescribed for glaucoma and high eye pressure.

Uses of Synicom Ophthalmic Solution 5ml

Synicom Ophthalmic Solution 5ml eye drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. They are usually prescribed when a single type of drop has not lowered the pressure enough. Keeping eye pressure under control helps protect the optic nerve and prevent gradual, permanent loss of vision.

How Synicom Ophthalmic Solution 5ml works

Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and timolol is a beta-blocker. Each reduces the amount of fluid (aqueous humour) the eye produces, but in a different way, so together they lower eye pressure more than either drop alone.

Possible side effects

Most side effects of Synicom Ophthalmic Solution 5ml affect the eye, although a few are felt elsewhere. Common ones include:

• Stinging or burning in the eye
• Bitter or unusual taste after use
• Blurred vision
• Eye redness or itching
• Dry eyes
• Headache

Seek urgent help for wheezing or breathlessness, a very slow heartbeat, fainting, eye pain or sudden vision changes, or a severe allergic reaction.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it every day at the same time; glaucoma usually has no symptoms but damages sight if untreated.
• Press on the inner corner of the eye for a minute after use to reduce absorption into the body.
• Keep regular eye pressure checks.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, COPD, a slow heartbeat, heart failure or kidney disease.
• Let your doctor know if you are allergic to sulfonamide (sulfa) medicines, as dorzolamide is related to them.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
