A woman I care for has ibs and glaucoma. The doctor put her on cosopt of drops recently and she feels it is affecting her ibs. Before taking cosopt she had her ibs under control. Is this possibles? ## Hello, Tricia! How are you? Yes, that is possible. When something is used in the eye, as opposed to being used topically on the skin, more of it is absorbed and it can cause problematic side effects. This medication is approved by the FDA to treat intraocular pressure associated with glaucoma and its typical side effects may possibly include burning, stinging, redness, blurred vision and bitter taste in mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am a wide angle glaucoma sufferer and use Cosopt twice a day. I started using 25 mg Trepiline 6 weeks ago. Since then my eyes are inflamed and red most of the time, burning and I have blurred vision. Could it be the Trepiline? ## Based on my research, I've determined that Trepiline is the cause of your symptoms, as these two drugs have no interactions with each other. Side effects of Trepiline (Amitriptyline) can include: -blurred vision -swelling of the face and tongue -yellowing of the skin or eyes All of these are considered to be severe side effects that should be reported to your doctor immediately.

Has anyone taken the generic verision of Dorzolamide-Timolol and is it as good as the non-generic verision? Thanks. s. hay ## I used this drug as sold under the Sandoz Inc label briefly. Whenever I dispenser a drop to an eye, it left a second drop hanging on the tip of the dispenser. Thus, I ran out of the med too soon so that I had to go back to Cosopt. I wonder if others have experienced this problem?

EYE DROP

I am currently using the drug COSOPT. My complaint is the 5ml bottle wastes too much of the eye drop because the hole in the dropper is too large. How can you fix this problem? I hope someone esle has noticed this also. Thanks. Write me back as I have a suggestion on how to fix it.
