Brinzolamide reduces the amount of fluid in the eye, which decreases pressure inside the eye. Brinzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that is FDA approved for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Common adverse reactions include abnormal taste in mouth and blurred vision. The concomitant administration of brinzolamide and oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is not recommended. Plus, in patients treated with oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, rare instances of acid-base alterations have occurred with high-dose salicylate therapy. — NCATS
