WHAT AZARGA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
AZARGA contains two active substances, brinzolamide and timolol, which
work together to reduce
pressure within the eye.
AZARGA is used to treat high pressure in the eyes, also called
glaucoma or ocular hypertension, in
adult patients that are more than 18 years of age and in whom high
pressure in the eyes cannot be
controlled effectively by one medicine alone.

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. No data are available.
_Hepatic and renal impairment _
No studies have been conducted with AZARGA or with timolol 5 mg/ml eye
drops in patients with
hepatic or renal impairment. No dosage adjustment is necessary in
patients with hepatic impairment or
in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment.
