Benzalkonium chloride 0.0075% is added as a preservative. Indications Trusopt is indicated in the treatment of high pressure inside the eye, (ocular hypertension) and open-angle glaucoma. How It Works Dorzolamide reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, which decreases pressure inside the eye. Dosage Always wash your hands before applying eye drops.
