Brinzolamide ophthalmic suspension: a review of its pharmacology and use in the treatment of open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Brinzolamide is a white powder commercially formulated as a 1% ophthalmic suspension to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). Pharmacologically, brinzolamide is a highly specific, non-competitive, reversible, and effective inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II), able to suppress formation of aqueous humor in the eye and thus to decrease IOP. Several clinical trials have evaluated its safety an...
متن کاملLevobetaxolol hydrochloride: a review of its pharmacology and use in the treatment of chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Levobetaxolol is a cardioselective beta-blocker that has been demonstrated to reduce intraocular pressure in patients affected with primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Levobetaxolol may be an effective neuroprotectant because of its great capacity to block sodium and calcium influx, which might confer a neuroprotective activity. Experimental and clinical studies have demonstrat...
متن کاملRandomized Trial of Brinzolamide/Brimonidine Versus Brinzolamide Plus Brimonidine for Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension
INTRODUCTION Fixed-combination intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications simplify treatment regimens for patients requiring 2 ocular hypotensive agents to maintain sufficiently low IOP. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fixed-combination brinzolamide 1%/brimonidine 0.2% (BBFC) versus concomitant administration of brinzolamide 1% plus brimonidine 0.2% (BRINZ ...

Update and optimal use of a brinzolamide-timolol fixed combination in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Glaucoma encompasses a wide clinical spectrum of disease, with the common pathophysiology of progressive optic neuropathy leading to visual field loss. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a key risk factor in disease progression. Treatment is aimed at reduction of IOP to minimize continued optic nerve head damage. Pharmacologic treatment with various classes of IOP-lowering medications is ge...
