Talk to your doctor before using brinzolamide ophthalmic together with acetaZOLAMIDE. After brinzolamide ophthalmic is instilled into the eye, the medication can be absorbed into the bloodstream and cause some of the same effects as acetaZOLAMIDE. This can increase the risk and/or severity of side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, numbness or tingling in the hands and feet, ringing in the ears, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or regular blood tests to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

GENERALLY AVOID: Following ophthalmic administration, brinzolamide and dorzolamide are systemically absorbed and may have additive pharmacologic effects with other, systemically administered carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The risk of adverse effects such as drowsiness, paresthesia, tinnitus, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic acidosis, and gastrointestinal disturbances may be increased.

MANAGEMENT: The concomitant use of ocular and systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is not recommended.
