چکیده
In a 15-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study both carteolol 2% and timolol 0.5% produced a significant reduction in intraocular pressure. Twelve hours after administration the reduction in pressure on carteolol was significantly less than that obtained on timolol.

Ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of once daily carteolol alginate.
BACKGROUND/AIM Carteolol is a beta adrenoceptor antagonist used topically to reduce intraocular pressure, typically twice daily. In an effort to provide a once daily dosing regimen, carteolol was formulated with 1% alginic acid. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of carteolol alginate solution in comparison with standard carteolol solution. METHODS This was a ...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of an intravenous infusion of carteolol on tissue blood flow in the optic nerve head (ONH) of rabbits. METHODS Rabbits received either a 3-week topical instillation, or a single intravenous injection (10, 20, 30 microg/kg) or a continuous intravenous injection (2.5, 5, 20, 40, 80 microg/kg per hour) of carteolol. The plasma carteolol level was determined by t...
متن کاملEnhancement in Corneal Permeability of Dissolved Carteolol by Its Combination with Magnesium Hydroxide Nanoparticles
We prepared magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles, and investigated their effect when combined with dissolved carteolol on the bioavailability and intraocular pressure (IOP)-reducing effect of carteolol. The carteolol was solved in saline containing additives (0.5% methylcellulose, 0.001% benzalkonium chloride, 0.5% mannitol; CRT-solution). MH nanoparticles were prepared by a bead mill method ...
متن کاملEffect on the 24-hour diurnal curve of intraocular pressure of a fixed ratio combination of timolol 0.5% and pilocarpine 2% in patients with COAG not controlled on timolol 0.5%.
Eight patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma who had an intraocular pressure greater than 24 mm Hg at some time during the day while taking timolol 0.5% twice daily were given the fixed ratio combination of timolol 0.5% with pilocarpine 2% (TP2) twice daily. By comparing full 24-hour diurnal curves on timolol with those on TP2 it was possible to show that all patients except one (at a single...
