What is Trusopt?

Trusopt (for the eyes) is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and other causes of high pressure inside the eye.

Trusopt may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

Warnings

Use only as directed. Tell your doctor if you use other medicines or have other medical conditions or allergies.

How should I use Trusopt

Follow all directions on your prescription label and read all medication guides or instruction sheets. Use the medicine exactly as directed.

Do not use while wearing soft contact lenses. A preservative in Trusopt could permanently stain the lenses. Wait at least 15 minutes before inserting your contact lenses.

Wash your hands before using the eye drops.

To apply the eye drops: Pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket and squeeze a drop into this pocket. Close your eyes for 1 or 2 minutes.

Use only the prescribed number of drops.

Wait at least 10 minutes before using any other eye drops.

Do not touch the dropper tip or place it directly on your eye. A contaminated dropper can infect your eye and lead to serious vision problems.

Do not use the eye drops if the liquid has changed colors or has particles in it. Call your pharmacist for new medicine.

Store at room temperature, in an upright position and tightly closed. Do not freeze.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any eye injury, infection, or surgery. You may need to stop using Trusopt for a short time.

What happens if I miss a dose?

Use the medicine as soon as you can, but skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at one time.

What happens if I overdose?

Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.

Do not use other eye medications unless your doctor tells you to.
