Synigan Eye Drop is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Timolol & Dorzolamide. It is used to treat increased pressure inside the eye due to conditions such as glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Key Ingredients and Their Benefits:
- Timolol: Timolol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. It works by reducing the production of fluid inside the eye, thereby decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP).
- Dorzolamide: Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. It works by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure.
Uses:
Synigan Eye Drop is indicated for:
- Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
- Helping to prevent vision loss associated with high intraocular pressure.

- The dosage of Synigan Eye Drop and the frequency of administration will be determined by your eye care professional based on the severity of your condition.
