Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O, mix and clarify.

Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.

Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such
as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.

In vitro
Dorzolamide is a powerful inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase (CA) II that penetrates the sclera and cornea to reach the ciliary process and lowers formation of HCO3 and aqueous humor. Dorzolamide causes a vasodilatation of retinal arteries, pre-contracted by three different mechanisms by direct action and presumably independent of changes in extracellular pH.
In vivo
Dorzolamide, administered twice and three times daily, significantly decreases intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous dogs on the first day (twice daily 7.6 mmHg, and three times daily 16.4 mmHg) that is even greater by day 5 (twice daily 10.4 mmHg, and three times daily 13.9 mmHg). Dorzolamide (instilled in the drug eye for day 1 through to day 5) combined with oral methazolamide (administered from day 3 through to day 5) significantly lowers IOP in the eye on day 1, for day 3 and for all of day 5 for both eyes. Dorzolamide (2%) instilled three times daily produces similar IOP declines compared to the combination of oral methazolamide and 2% dorzolamide administered twice daily. Dorzolamide hydrochloride induces a very large IOP reduction and is found to be also well effective at night in rabbit. Dorzolamide maximally lowers the intraocular pressure (IOP) of glaucomatous monkeys by 22%, 30% and 37%, respectively.
