Side effects? My Cairn terrier is 100 years old in dog years. She has been prescribed Dorzolamide Hydrochloride and Timmoiol Maleate opthamalic solution in both eyes 3 times a day. Administration of drops 3 times a day isnt working well. It isn't realistic and she could be injured because even though we muzzle and restrain her she still resists. Can we substitute thie oral medication for drops? Can we get this prescription since we're already prescribed this by our vet? Thank you?

Due to cost and fewer adverse events, topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as dorzolamide are generally recommended over oral versions such as methazolamide. Methazolamide side effects may include vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, heavy panting, sedation and/or excitement. Please speak with your veterinarian. They may be able to provide administration tips for easier application of the eye drops or determine that changing to Methazolamide (Generic) Tablets would be appropriate for your pet. Methazolamide (Generic) Tablets would require a new prescription from your veterinarian prior to dispensing.
