Azopt (brinzolamide) "I have been on treatment with Azopt eye drops - once a day - for over 25 years. About 17 months ago I have started getting breathless - especially when walking on hills - out of the blue! Until that time I have never experienced such a feeling. I'm very upset about it. It's very upsetting that while treating one condition another organ eventually gets damaged."
