Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Azopt eye drops (Brinzolamide) are used to lower high pressure inside the eye. This helps people with conditions like open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, which can damage the eye if not treated. Azopt works by reducing the amount of fluid the eye makes, which lowers the pressure. The medicine comes as a liquid that you put directly into your eye, usually as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

When using these eye drops, start by shaking the bottle well. The standard dosage is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) three times a day. To apply Azopt, tilt your head back or lie down. Use an index finger to pull down the lower eyelid, creating a small pocket. Squeeze the bottle gently to release a drop into the pocket.
Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to maintain sterility. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Azopt may cause blurred vision temporarily after application, so exercise caution when performing tasks that require clear vision immediately after use.
Azopt eye drops contain the active ingredient Brinzolamide.
Avoid using Azopt if you have a known hypersensitivity or allergy to any ingredients in the medication.
Before using Azopt, you may want to consult a healthcare provider about the following:
Any existing health conditions
Any allergies
A list of all medications you are currently taking
Whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
While it’s used as an eye drop, Azopt can still enter your bloodstream. In rare cases, it can cause serious allergic reactions, including life-threatening conditions like Stevens-Johnson syndrome or blood problems.
Azopt may raise the risk of corneal swelling in people with low endothelial cell counts in the eye. If your eye doctor has mentioned this condition to you, let them know before starting Azopt.
Avoid using Azopt while wearing soft contact lenses. Take them out before using the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
Azopt is mainly cleared from your body by the kidneys. If you have serious kidney problems, Azopt may not be safe for you. Talk to your doctor if you’ve been told you have low kidney function.
Make sure the dropper tip doesn’t touch your eye, hands, or any surface, as this can contaminate the bottle. In severe cases, using contaminated eye drops can lead to serious infections and even vision loss.
The most common side effects of Azopt include blurred vision and a bitter or unusual taste in the mouth. Some people may also experience dry eyes, eye discomfort, itching, or a mild headache. Other possible effects include redness, eye discharge, or a feeling like something is in the eye. These reactions are usually mild and temporary.
Less common but more serious side effects can include allergic reactions, dizziness, or skin problems. Rarely, Azopt may cause severe skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), which require immediate medical attention. If you notice any rash, blistering, or other unusual symptoms, contact your healthcare provider right away.
