Trisopt Ophthalmic Suspension Reviews
Use Trisopt Ophthalmic in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Shake the bottle well and apply one drop into the eye. Before using it, wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the medicine. Use it regularly and at the same time each day for maximum benefits.
Common side effects include eye irritation, dry eyes, blurred vision, and a bitter taste. If these persist or worsen, contact your doctor. To prevent side effects, do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye or hands, to avoid contamination.
Avoid using Trisopt Ophthalmic if you have severe respiratory conditions, heart problems, or allergies to its components. Inform your doctor of any other medications you are taking to avoid interactions. Do not use this medication while wearing contact lenses; wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

How to Use Trisopt Ophthalmic Suspension
Benefits of Trisopt Ophthalmic Suspension
- In Treatment of Glaucoma: Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, often due to high intraocular pressure. It can lead to vision loss or blindness if untreated. Trisopt Ophthalmic helps treat glaucoma by lowering the pressure inside the eye. The medicine reduces the production of fluid in the eye while enhancing fluid drainage. This multi-mechanism approach helps to achieve and maintain target intraocular pressure (IOP) levels, thereby protecting the optic nerve and preserving vision.
- In Treatment of Ocular hypertension: Trisopt Ophthalmic helps treat ocular hypertension by lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). Elevated IOP is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma and can lead to optic nerve damage if not controlled. Trisopt Ophthalmic helps decrease fluid production and increase fluid drainage in the eye. This helps maintain a healthy IOP, reducing the risk of glaucoma development and preserving eye health.
