SYNICOM 5mL Eye Drops

Synicom 5mL Eye Drops is a prescription eye medicine containing dorzolamide 2 percent and timolol maleate 0.5 percent in a 5mL bottle, made by Barrett Hodgson Pakistan. Eye specialists prescribe it to lower raised pressure inside the eye in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Both actives reduce fluid production in the eye.

Quick Facts

• Category: Anti-glaucoma ophthalmic solution

What Are Synicom Eye Drops Used For?

This ophthalmic solution reduces high intraocular pressure, the fluid pressure inside the eyeball. Specialists prescribe it for open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and sometimes pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

Lowering eye pressure may help protect the optic nerve from further damage. It does not restore lost vision, so steady daily use matters. It is often prescribed when a beta blocker alone has not controlled pressure.

How Does This Combination Drop Work?

It works through two routes. Dorzolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, slows production of aqueous humour, the eye’s own fluid. Timolol maleate, a beta blocker, also reduces fluid formation, so one bottle replaces two drops.

How Is the 5mL Bottle Applied?

Use it exactly as your specialist directs, commonly one drop into the affected eye twice daily.

• Wash your hands and pull the lower lid down to form a pocket.
• Squeeze one drop in without letting the tip touch your eye.
• Close the eye gently for a minute, then press the inner corner.
• Wait five minutes before any other eye medicine.

What Side Effects Should You Expect?

Most reported effects are local and mild: burning or stinging, eye irritation, redness, blurred vision, watering, and a bitter taste.

Contact your doctor if you notice breathing difficulty, a slow or irregular heartbeat, severe eye pain, or sudden vision changes.
