Can I stop Dortas if I am fine now?

No, you should not stop using Dortas without consulting your doctor. If you stop taking this medicine suddenly, the pressure in your eyes may not be controlled which may increase the risk of loss of sight. Consult your doctor if you wish to stop the medication.

When should I seek a doctor’s advice?

What does Dortas do?

Dortas reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This reduces the risk of damage to the optic nerve responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually lead to blindness. Dortas effectively controls glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.
