Clinical experience with timolol in childhood glaucoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We studied 67 patients (100 eyes) with childhood glaucoma who were treated with timolol maleate. Thirty of these patients (40 eyes) did not require additional surgery or medications after being treated with timolol (follow-up, from six to 60 months). Thirty-one eyes (78%) in this group had a pressure drop; 18 eyes (45%) had a pressure drop of greater than 10 mm Hg. We conclude that timolol is effective in the treatment of pediatric glaucoma, although there is a need to be aware of its potential complications.

Brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% is a new fixed-combination for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Brinzolamide/timolol has a favorable safety profile, with an incidence of ocular burning and stinging <5%. Published data show that brinzolamide 1%/timolol 0.5% and dorzolamide 2%/timolol 0.5% have similar efficacies for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). There is some evid...

The prostaglandin analogs have emerged as effective, well-tolerated agents for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Based on the available clinical data, bimatoprost, latanoprost and travoprost appear to be at more effective than the erstwhile gold standard, timolol, while the effectiveness of unoprostone is similar or...
متن کاملEffects of 0.5% Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution on Heart Rate and Selected Echocardiographic Indices in Apparently Healthy Cats
BACKGROUND Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function is challenging in cats, partially because of transmitral flow pattern fusion associated with high heart rates. With heart rate (HR) reduction, transmitral flow waveforms separate, allowing identification of diastolic dysfunction. Timolol, an ophthalmic, nonselective beta-blocker used in glaucoma is safe and transiently decreases HR i...

Combination pharmacotherapy has simplified and improved glaucoma medication regimens. This update focuses on the previous and recent studies on efficacy and tolerability profile of dorzolamide-timolol in adult ocular hypertension and open angle glaucoma patients. Dorzolamide-timolol has been shown to be efficacious and well tolerated in clinical trials and the adverse effects reflect those of t...
