WHAT COVEX IS USED FOR
Covex lower the pressure in the eye
in different ways. Covex is
prescribed to lower raised pressure
in the eye in the treatment of
glaucoma when concomitant
therapy is appropriate.
HOW COVEX WORKS
Covex contains two medicines:
dorzolamide and timolol.
Dorzolamide belongs to a group of
medicines called “carbonic
anhydrase inhibitors”. It works by
blocking the action of an enzyme in
the body called carbonic anhydrase.
Carbonic anhydrase is usually
responsible for the production of a
salt called bicarbonate in the body.
Bicarbonate is needed for the
production of the aqueous humour.
By decreasing the production of
bicarbonate, dorzolamide also
decreases the production of aqueous
humour.
Timolol belongs to a group of
medicines called “beta blockers”.
These medicines block beta
receptors in various parts of the
body. Blocking the beta receptors in
the eye reduces the amount of
aqueous humour that is produced.
