Cosopt

This eye-drop contains a combination of two different medications: Trusopt and Tiloptic. It is like puring into one bottle both Trusopt and Tiloptic, and mixing the two. The side-effects, advantages and disadvantages are identical to the combination of each of these two medications separately. Taking Cosopt is like taking one drop from each bottle of Trusopt and Tiloptic, except that it is more convenient (one bottle instead of two, one drop instead of two).

Directions for Taking the Medication:
One eye-drop, twice a day (morning and evening).

Side-effects:
Identical to the side-effects of its two components (Trusopt and Tiloptic).
