¿What is COSOPT PF and what is it used for?
COSOPT PF contains two medicines: dorzolamide and timolol.
Dorzolamide belongs to a group of medicines called "carbonic anhydrase inhibitors".
Timolol belongs to a group of medicines called "beta-blockers".
These drugs lower the pressure in the eye in different ways.
COSOPT PF is prescribed to reduce elevated pressure in the eye in the treatment of glaucoma when the use of beta-blocker eye drops alone is not appropriate.
