Cautions with other medicines
There are some medicines that do not mix well with brinzolamide and can affect how well it works.
Tell a doctor or pharmacist before you start using brinzolamide if you're taking:
- other eye drops that work in a similar way to brinzolamide, such as acetazolamide or dorzolamide
- antifungals such as itraconazole or clotrimazole
- ritonavir (an antiviral medicine)
- metformin (a medicine used for diabetes)
Mixing brinzolamide with herbal remedies or supplements
There's not enough information to say that complementary medicines, herbal remedies and supplements are safe to take with brinzolamide. They're not tested in the same way as pharmacy and prescription medicines. They're generally not tested for the effect they have on other medicines.
Important: Medicine safety
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you're taking any other medicines, including herbal remedies, vitamins or supplements.
