For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I was allergic to dorzolamide, which made my eyes itch and redden all around the eyelids. Dr. changed me to Cosopt, which has no additives, and the itching and redness left! I use it daily with no problem for glaucoma :-)"

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I started using Cosopt 2x daily, and after a few days, I experienced really bad chest pain/spasms, digestive pains/discomfort, and itchy eyes, but I continued use. After a few more days, the discomfort seemed to improve, and I felt like my normal self. One month later, when I opened a new package, on the 3rd or 4th, I started having chest pain/spasms, upper and lower back discomfort, anxiety, depression, and I was extremely emotional to the point of tears. I stopped the drops for a few days, and the symptoms improved! I’ll restart the drops and see what happens, and I will definitely inform my doctor. Not sure if it’s effective, I’ll see the doctor in a few weeks for a pressure check."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I find it burns for a minute after instilling. Something I'm trying to get used to. I also get a weird taste in the back of my mouth. Dr. suggested using artificial tears first, then using the Cosopt. I use the unit dose drops, which is great for travel."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I have been suffering from bouts of laryngitis. Had bouts this year, had many tests done, nothing comes back. When I see the doctor next, I will mention eye drops as I feel this may be what's causing whatever is wrong. Worth asking as all tests done show nothing."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I really don't know if this product works, as my appointment is in 2 weeks. This drug was added to the first drop originally prescribed. First drug, no issue. This one is hard to drop due to the viscosity, so sometimes I get a lot, sometimes hardly anything. Also, as someone else mentioned, about 30 minutes after use, there is a terrible taste in the back of my throat. This drug is prescribed twice a day, but you have to wait at least 5 min before using any other drops. This causes me to just skip it, and I end up using it only once per day. I'll be anxious to hear what my doctor says. I'd rather just have the laser surgery than use any drops."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "This was the worst drop I tried, and I've tried a lot. My doctor didn't ask me if I had any heart problems, and I do. It was just a bad situation all around."

For Glaucoma, Open Angle "I had side effects of coughing, drainage, trouble breathing, and chest pains after using Cosopt for several months. The side effects became progressively worse, but eye pressure was good."
