Benozol Suspension 1% contains Brinzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used in ophthalmology to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By lowering IOP, Benozol helps prevent optic nerve damage, preserve vision, and reduce the risk of glaucoma progression.

The ophthalmic suspension formulation ensures effective delivery of the active ingredient directly to the eye, providing rapid onset and sustained pressure-lowering effects. It is commonly used alone or in combination with other glaucoma medications for optimal intraocular pressure control.

Key Benefits

• Reduces elevated intraocular pressure in glaucoma and ocular hypertension
• Protects optic nerve from pressure-related damage
• Helps prevent progression of vision loss
• Can be used as monotherapy or in combination therapy
• Well-tolerated and easy-to-administer eye suspension

Indications

Benozol Suspension is indicated for:

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Patients requiring reduction of elevated intraocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage

Mechanism of Action

Brinzolamide inhibits the enzyme carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye, reducing the formation of aqueous humor. This leads to decreased intraocular pressure, relieving stress on the optic nerve and helping preserve vision.

Dosage and Administration

• Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) 2–3 times daily or as prescribed by a physician
• Shake the bottle well before each use to ensure uniform suspension
• Wash hands before administration and avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye
• Contact lenses should be removed before instillation and can be reinserted 15 minutes after administration

Side Effects

Common side effects:

• Temporary blurred vision
• Eye discomfort, burning, or stinging
• Bitter taste after administration

Rare side effects:

• Allergic reactions such as redness, itching, or swelling
• Corneal edema or eye irritation in sensitive patients
