Dorimaze-T, marketed by Manfaith Pharma, is an essential therapeutic agent for the long-term management of glaucoma. This combination therapy is often prescribed when single-agent eye drops are not sufficient to maintain target eye pressure.
It is clinically indicated for:
-
Open-Angle Glaucoma: Helps manage the most common form of glaucoma by controlling pressure.
-
Ocular Hypertension: For patients with high eye pressure who are at risk of developing glaucoma.
-
Optic Nerve Protection: By maintaining stable, low pressure, it prevents the progressive damage that leads to vision loss.
How it works:
-
Dorzolamide: A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces the secretion of aqueous humor (eye fluid).
-
Timolol Maleate: A beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent that also helps lower the rate at which fluid is produced within the eye.
Key Benefits
-
Synergistic Action: Dual ingredients provide a more significant pressure reduction than either drug used alone.
-
Convenience: Combines two medications into a single drop, improving patient compliance.
-
Targeted Therapy: Specifically designed for eye health with minimal systemic impact when used correctly.
-
Trusted Quality: Manufactured by Manfaith Pharma following standard pharmaceutical protocols.
Directions for Use
-
Use strictly as prescribed by your Ophthalmologist.

Standard Dosing: Usually one drop in the affected eye(s) twice daily.
