  • Comparison of the Efficacy and Safety of Fixed Combination

Objective To compare the efficacy of reduced intraocular pressure (IOP) and safety of fixed combination travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% vs. fixed combination dorzolamide 2%/timolol 0.5% in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Methods Prospective randomized clinical study included 60 patients divided into 2 groups. Follow-up was done at day 14 and 45 and month 3. IOP measurements were taken at each follow-up examination at 8 am, 10 am and 4 pm. Results Both fixed combinations reduced IOP significantly compared to initial values at all follow-ups (p<0.001). Mean pooled IOP at all visits and time points was slightly lower in the travoprost/timolol group compared with the dorzolamide/timolol group (16.13 mmHg vs. 16.15 mmHg). Mean IOP reduction from baseline ranged from -7.46 mmHg to -9.92 mmHg in the travoprost/timolol group and from -6.93 mmHg to -8.93 mmHg for the dorzolamide/timolol group.

  • Risk Management Plan Dorzolamide/Timolol Is Used To
    Risk Management Plan VI.2 Elements for a public summary VI.2.1 Overview of disease epidemiology Dorzolamide/Timolol is used to reduce pressure in the eye in relatively common conditions known as open angle glaucoma or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma which result from a build-up of fluid. Around 2% of people older than 40 years of age have long-term open angle glaucoma, a figure which rises to almost 10% in people older than 75 years.1 Untreated open angle glaucoma leads to gradual vision loss. Hence, prevention or at least minimisation of ongoing damage is paramount to maintenance of vision. Pseudoexfoliative glaucoma is less common. 1 Risk Management Plan Risk factors for open-angle glaucoma include increased age, African ethnicity, family history and other eye disorders1 , for pseudoexfoliative glaucoma include sex (female gender), age (rarely seen before age 50) and Scandinavian origin2. VI.2.2 Summary of treatment benefits In clinical studies, the effect of the dorzolamide and timolol eye drops prescribed in combination to reduce eye pressure has been shown to be greater than when either substance is administered alone. The eye pressure lowering effect has been demonstrated when measured at various time points throughout the day and has been maintained during long-term administration. The effect was also similar in patients given dorzolamide-timolol in a fixed combination compared to a group that received treatment with separate drops of dorzolamide and timolol. The benefit of dorzolamide timolol fixed combination lies in the simplification of the dosing regimen by reducing the prescribed number of doses per day. It has been documented that less frequent dosing regimens results in better adherence to the drug dosage regimen by patients 3 Use of the fixed combination also decreases the load of preservatives (chemicals that discourage the growth of bacteria that may irritate eyes once the bottle has been opened) to which the patient’s eyes are exposed.

  • Periorbital Dermatitis As a Side Effect of Topical Dorzolamide Y M Delaney, J F Salmon, F Mossa, B Gee, K Beehne, S Powell
    378 SCIENTIFIC CORRESPONDENCE Br J Ophthalmol: first published as 10.1136/bjo.86.4.378 on 1 April 2002. Downloaded from Periorbital dermatitis as a side effect of topical dorzolamide Y M Delaney, J F Salmon, F Mossa, B Gee, K Beehne, S Powell ............................................................................................................................. Br J Ophthalmol 2002;86:378–380 Aim: To report periorbital dermatitis as a late side effect of topical dorzolamide hydrochloride (Trusopt), a drug used to reduce intraocular pressure. Methods: A retrospective study of 14 patients who devel- oped periorbital dermatitis while using topical dorzola- mide hydrochloride was undertaken. Six patients underwent patch testing for sensitivity to Trusopt, dorzola- mide hydrochloride, and the preservative benzalkonium chloride. Results: The periorbital dermatitis occurred after a mean period of 20.4 weeks of commencing dorzolamide hydro- β chloride therapy. 13 patients had used preserved topical Figure 1 Case 14.

In dorzolamide. eight (57.1%) the dermatitis resolved completely after dis- continuing dorzolamide but in six (42.9%) resolution of the dermatitis did not occur until the concomitant preserved β blocker was stopped and substituted with preservative free drops. Patch testing for sensitivity to Trusopt, dorzolamide hydrochloride, and benzalkonium chloride was negative. Conclusion: These findings suggest that dorzolamide can cause severe periorbital dermatitis. Although the dermatitis may resolve when dorzolamide is discontinued, this does http://bjo.bmj.com/ not always occur and in some patients all topical medication containing benzalkonium chloride needs to be stopped.

  • [Dorzolamide/Timolol] 20 Mg/Ml + 5 Mg/Ml Eye Drops, Solution
    SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT [Dorzolamide/Timolol] 20 mg/ml + 5 mg/ml eye drops, solution 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION Each ml contains 20 mg dorzolamide (as Dorzolamide hydrochloride) and 5 mg timolol (as timolol maleate). Excipient(s) with known effect Each ml of eye drops solution contains 0.075 mg benzalkonium chloride. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Eye drops, solution. Clear, slightly viscous, colourless aqueous solution. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications [Dorzolamide/Timolol] is indicated in the treatment of elevated intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma when topical beta-blocker monotherapy is not sufficient. 4.2 Posology and method of administration The dose is one drop of [Dorzolamide/Timolol] in the (conjunctival sac of the) affected eye(s) two times daily. When using nasolacrimal occlusion or closing the eyelids for 2 minutes, the systemic absorption is reduced. This may result in a decrease in systemic side effects and an increase in local activity. If another topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the other agent should be administered at least ten minutes apart. Patients should be instructed to wash their hands before use and avoid allowing the tip of the dispensing container to contact the eye or surrounding structures. In order to secure correct dosage - the dropper tip should not be enlarged. Patients should also be instructed that ocular solutions, if handled improperly, can become contaminated by common bacteria known to cause ocular infections. Serious damage to the eye and subsequent loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions.
