Elevated intraocular pressure: Reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical beta-blockers, prostaglandin analogues, or other IOP-reducing agents and in whom combination therapy is appropriate.
藥理
Latanoprost: A prostaglandin F2-alpha analog believed to reduce intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of the aqueous humor
Timolol: Blocks both beta1- and beta2-adrenergic receptors, reduces intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humor production or possibly increases the outflow of aqueous humor.
藥動學
See individual agents.
禁忌症
Hypersensitivity to latanoprost, timolol, benzalkonium chloride, or any component of the formulation; reactive airway disease including severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and presence or history of bronchial asthma; sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, sinoatrial block, second- or third-degree atrioventricular block not controlled with pacemaker, overt cardiac failure, cardiogenic shock.
懷孕分類
