It has a multifactorial aetiology with intraocular pressure (IOP) being the only major modifiable risk factor (2).The mainstay of treatment involves lowering of the intraocular pressure by various methods. Although there is no absolutely ‘safe’ pressure that guarantees prevention of progression, lowering intraocular pressure to the low-normal range usually arrests or slows the progression of glaucoma. The two main modalities of treatment include surgical and medical. Usually 25% - 30% reduction in baseline intraocular pressure (3)(4)(5) or achievement of Target intraocular pressure is the goal of treatment. Target intraocular pressure is defined as the upper limit of the range of measured intraocular pressures adequate to stop progressive pressure induced damage of optic nerve head. Medical management consists of topical administration of various classes of anti-glaucoma medications in the form of eye drops. The anti-glaucoma medications available include β blockers (Timolol 0.5%, Betaxolol 0.5%), alpha adrenergic agonists (brimonidine 0.2%), Prostaglandin analogs (latanoprost 0.005%, Travaprost 0.004%, Bimataprost 0.03%), Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (dorzolamide 2% ,brinzolamide 1%) and Parasypathomimetics (Pilocarpine 1-4%). Monotherapy is often insufficient to achieve the optimal reduction of Intraocular pressure . Combination of drugs is hence often required. In order to achieve ease of administration and reduction of side effects of preservatives of multiple drops, fixed combinations are used. Also compliance is better with fixed therapy than individual mutiple medications(6). Till recently, Timolol, a beta blocker was the only additional drug available in fixed combination along with various other antiglaucoma medications like Prostaglandin analogues, Carbonic 1 anhydrase inhibitors and Alpha adrenergic agonists (7). However beta blockers cannot be used in asthmatics and patients with heart blocks. Also, in patients with uveitis as well as those planned for intraocular surgeries, prostaglandin analogues are best avoided due to the risk of increased incidence of cystoid macular oedema or worsening of uveitis (8). Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and Alpha adrenergic agonist are the drugs preferred in these patients. Recently fixed combination Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and Alpha adrenergic agonist is available in the market. It can be used as first line therapy (9)(10) or added on in patients wherein intraocular pressure control is inadequate with monotherapy with Prostaglandin analogs and Beta blockers are contraindicated(11)(12). The efficacy of fixed combination of carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and alpha adrenergic agonist has been studied in various Caucasian studies (6)(13)(14) and has been shown to achieve a 32% to 34 % (15) (16) reduction of intraocular pressure. They have also been used as an additional therapy along with Prostaglangin analogs and has been found to achieve additional 25 % reduction in Intraocular pressure (11). The fixed dose combination has now recently become available in the Indian market as the preparation – Simbrinza TM (Fixed combination of brinzolamide 1% and brimonidine 0.2% ,Alcon laboratories). However there are no studies in Indian eyes. Hence we looked at the ocular hypotensive effect and tolerability of fixed dose combination of Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor and Alpha adrenergic agonist in our patients. 2 AIM: This study aims to assess the ocular hypotensive effect and tolerability of fixed combination of brinzolamide 1% and brimonidine 0.2% in Indian patients with Open angle glaucoma. 3 PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: 1. To determine the reduction in Intraocular pressure achieved in patients with open angle glaucoma by the fixed combination brinzolamide1% and brimonidine 0.2% at 1 month as measured during office hours. 2. To determine the tolerability and side effect profile of fixed combination brinzolamide 1% and brimonidine 0.2% . Secondary objective: To determine the 24 hour profile of intraocular pressure in patients on fixed combination of brinzolamide1% and brimonidine 0.2% 4 LITERATURE REVIEW: Glaucoma comprises a multifactorial group of diseases characterised by chronic progressive anterior optic neuropathy that is accompanied by a characteristic cupping and atrophy of the optic disc, and visual field loss, with elevated intra-ocular pressure being the only modifiable risk factor. (17) About 12 million people in India are affected by glaucoma accounting for 12.8% of the blindness in the country. Early population based studies reported a prevalence of glaucoma between 2% and 13% (21). The Vellore Eye Survey (VES) reported a prevalence of Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) as 0.41%, ocular hypertension (OHT) 3.08 %(22). The Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease

  • AZARGA, INN-Brinzolamide/Timolol
    ANNEX I SUMMARY OF PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS 1 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT AZARGA 10 mg/ml + 5 mg/ml eye drops, suspension 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION One ml of suspension contains 10 mg brinzolamide and 5 mg timolol (as timolol maleate). Excipient with known effect: One ml of suspension contains 0.10 mg benzalkonium chloride. For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Eye drops, suspension (eye drops) White to off-white uniform suspension, pH 7.2 (approximately). 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Decrease of intraocular pressure (IOP) in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension for whom monotherapy provides insufficient IOP reduction (see section 5.1). 4.2 Posology and method of administration Posology Use in adults, including the elderly The dose is one drop of AZARGA in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) twice daily. When using nasolacrimal occlusion or closing the eyelids, the systemic absorption is reduced. This may result in a decrease in systemic side effects and an increase in local activity (see section 4.4). If a dose is missed, treatment should be continued with the next dose as planned. The dose should not exceed one drop in the affected eye (s) twice daily. When substituting another ophthalmic antiglaucoma medicinal product with AZARGA, the other medicinal product should be discontinued and AZARGA should be started the following day. Special populations Paediatric population The safety and efficacy of AZARGA in children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years have not yet been established.
