| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR COSOPT | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | Open Angle Glaucoma | Flu like symptoms, muscle weakness, pain in neck and upper and lower extremities. Anxiety, increased heart rate. These symptoms elevate shortly after dosing and taper off shortly before time to dose again and the symptoms start all over again. Some days which are few I feel good but most days it’s a struggle. | 61 | 3 years 2% 0.5% 2X day | 12/10/2023 | 3 | Glaucoma | Cosopt PF causes muscle weakness and muscle pain. Makes me feel anxious with crying spells with no apparent reason. The medication is effective however the side effects are terrible. I've experienced muscle spasms in my extremities, foot pain, I like symptoms but I can't can't stop it because there aren't any other medication options, I've experienced them all and after a while not able to tolerate or became allergic. | F | 61 | 2 years 2x daily 2X day | 9/14/2023 | 1 | Narrow angle glaucoma | Severe brain fog, almost stroke like. Severe insomnia. Massive hair loss. | I was put on these drops as my pressures were 35 and 38. I was told these drops work quickly. My angles are 95% closed. I had one eye LPI done and having the next done on Monday. Post op after my first eye, still on Cosopt, pressure was 24 in surgery eye and 26 in the other. I had been on these drops for 2 weeks and began to feel off. I requested to stop them but he said it was best to stay on them at least 2 weeks after 2nd eye. I called yesterday telling him that I need to go off immediately cuz I could barely formulate a thought. I just began Latanoprost. I pray these work and do not permanently damage me. | F | 49 | 5 weeks 1 drop 2X day | 8/16/2023 | 1 | Glaucoma | Burning eyes | M | 70 | 2 days 2X day | 12/12/2021 | 4 | Glaucoma | Stinging on application making my eyes stream. | Take twice a day with the addition of Lumigan at night. Have lowered my pressures. | F | 61 | 2 days 1 drop 2X day | 5/15/2021 | 5 | Glaucoma | No side effects | After 6 years with no problem last 7 months drops have been clogging my eyelashes and pressure has been building with discomfort Dr is changing drops why after all this time have they changed any of the ingredients?? | F | 63 | 6 years 20 2X day | 3/22/2021 | 1 | Ocular hypertension | Horrible headache, deep eye pain, unable to sleep, nausea vomiting. Unrelieved by painkillers | F | 47 | 1 days 1X day | 2/10/2021 | 4 | Central Retinal Vein Occlusion With | Occasional miner stinging | Effective in keeping my eye pressure down to a reasonable level. | M | 69 | 1 years 22.3 2X day | 1/18/2021 | 2 | Glaucoma | Excessive tearing and itching | This is the second time I've tried this drug. Exact same side effects | 72 | 2 days One drop 2X day | 1/17/2021 | 1 | glaucoma | such severe stinging & burning, it nearly put me off eye drops for good | dr switched me to another similar drop called azarga. much much more comfortable. | M | 58 | 4 weeks | 2/1/2010 | 5 | Open-angle glaucoma | Slight stinging/irritabilty in eyes shortly after administering. | I was taking Timoptic 1x/day and was switched to Cosopt 2x/day to try to get eye pressures lower than with the Timoptic. I am doing MUCH better on the Cosopt than I was on the Timoptic, as the beta-blocker ingredient seems to be less potent. I am a runner, and switching to Cosopt has helped me to be able to run faster and more effortlessly than when I was on the Timoptic. And so far my pressures are closer to where my eye doctor wants them to be. | F | 47 | 9 months | 3/24/2008 | 1 | open angle glaucoma | Stinging upon administration of drops, red, itchy eyes, slight headache, allergic eyes | I took timoptic, one of the ingredients in cosopt, for 20 years without problems. But my pressure was creeping up around 25-27, so dr. tried adding the eye diuretic. It was uncomfortable for me and didn't lower the pressure at all. I do have sensitive eyes, though, apparently. Timoptic alone (or generic timolol) never bothered me. | F | 58 | 1 months | 11/17/2007 | 2 | glaucoma | faint-feeling,chest pain,palpitations,dyspnea etc(mostly cardiac/respiratory symptoms) | not a good experience with this drug..prescribed two times a day but only tolerable once a day and I skip a day if symptomatic. ...awful but doc would not change it. i wondered if preservatives were at fault but doc shot that down. | F | 60 | 2 years | 9/15/2007 | 1 | glaucoma | I developed corneal decompensation. I was unable to read, watch TV, drive or do any of the things I usually do. This lasted for several months. | F | 75 | 4 weeks | 2/18/2007 |
COSOPT (DORZOLAMIDE HYDROCHLORIDE; TIMOLOL MALEATE): This product contains two drugs used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma (open angle-type) or other eye diseases (e.g., ocular hypertension). Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent blindness. This medication works by decreasing the amount of fluid within the eye. Timolol belongs to a class of drugs known as beta-blockers, and dorzolamide belongs to a class of drugs known as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
