AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
AZOPT (brinzolamide) is a topical ophthalmic suspension and carbonic anhydrase inhibitor approved by the FDA in 1998. It is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. The drug works by inhibiting carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary body, thereby decreasing aqueous humor production and lowering IOP. AZOPT is a first-line or adjunctive therapy in the glaucoma treatment landscape and represents a well-established mechanism of action in ocular pressure management.
