Azopt

Alcon, a Novartis Division

Azopt (brinzolamide ophthalmic suspension) 1% is an eye drop to lower intraocular pressure in patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It belongs to a class of drugs known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and works by decreasing the amount of fluid within the eye.

At-a-Glance
  • Mechanism of Action: Inhibition of carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humor secretion, presumably by slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions with subsequent reduction in sodium and fluid transport. The result is a reduction in intraocular pressure (IOP).
  • Dosage: One drop in the affected eye(s) three times a day
