Trisopt Ophthalmic Suspension Reviews

Trisopt Ophthalmic is a combination of medicines used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by reducing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It also decreases fluid production in the eye and increases drainage, which helps lower IOP.

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.

How Trisopt Ophthalmic Suspension Works

Trisopt Ophthalmic contains three medications. Brinzolamide works by reducing the production of fluid in your eye. This lowers the pressure within your eye. Brimonidine works by allowing better fluid drainage from within the eye and also by decreasing the amount of fluid formed in the eye. Timolol works by decreasing the amount of fluid formed in the eye.

How to Use Trisopt Ophthalmic Suspension

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

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.
