About this item
Misopt is a fixed-dose combination of a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and a topical beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent. This dual-action approach is specifically formulated for patients whose eye pressure is not sufficiently controlled by beta-blockers alone. By decreasing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye), Misopt helps maintain a healthy pressure balance within the ocular globe, safeguarding long-term vision.
Dosage of Misopt Eye Drops This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Take exactly as directed by your ophthalmologist.
- Standard Dose: One drop in the affected eye(s) two times daily (usually morning and evening).
Proper Administration
- Preparation: Wash your hands. Tilt your head back or lie down.
- Instillation: Gently pull the lower lid down. Hold the bottle upside down over the eye. Without touching the eye or eyelid, squeeze one drop into the pocket.
- Aftercare: Close your eye and press your finger against the inner corner of the eye (near the nose) for at least 2 minutes. This keeps the medicine in the eye and prevents it from entering your bloodstream.
- Contact Lenses: Remove lenses before use. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting, as the preservative (Benzalkonium chloride) can discolor soft lenses.
How to Store and Dispose of Misopt Eye Drops
- Storage: Store at room temperature (below 25°C). Protect from light. Keep the bottle tightly closed.
- Shelf Life: Discard the bottle 28 days after opening to prevent bacterial contamination.
- Disposal: Dispose of expired drops through a pharmacy take-back program.
Quick Tips for Misopt Eye Drops
- Consistency is Key: Glaucoma treatment only works if used every single day without fail.
- Wait Between Drops: If using other eye medications, wait at least 10 minutes between Misopt and the other product.
- Bitter Taste: You may notice a bitter taste in your mouth after use; this is normal and can be minimized by pressing the tear duct after instillation.
- Vision Blur: Your vision may be briefly blurred after use; do not drive until it clears.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Misopt Eye Drops
- Respiratory Issues: Do NOT use if you have asthma, a history of asthma, or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Heart Conditions: Do NOT use if you have certain heart rhythm disorders (e.g., sinus bradycardia, second or third-degree heart block) or heart failure.
- Kidney Health: Not recommended for patients with severe kidney impairment.
Side Effects of Misopt Eye Drops
- Common Side Effects: Burning or stinging in the eye, blurred vision, watery eyes, or a bitter taste.
- Serious but Rare Side Effects: Shortness of breath, chest pain, slow heartbeat, or severe skin rash.
- Action: If you experience difficulty breathing or a sudden change in your heart rate, seek medical attention immediately.
Precautions and Warnings
- Surgery: Tell your doctor you are using Misopt before any surgery (including dental), as the timolol can interact with anesthesia.
- Diabetes: Beta-blockers can mask the symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor. Misopt is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Pack Size: 5ml Dropper Bottle.
- Form: Ophthalmic Solution.
Active Ingredients: Dorzolamide 2%, Timolol 0.5%.
