CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
BETOPTIC® S Suspension contains betaxolol, a cardioselective
beta-adrenergic receptor blocking agent (beta-blocker).
BETOPTIC® S Suspension is indicated for the reduction of elevated
intraocular pressure in patients with chronic open-angle glaucoma or
ocular
hypertension.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
POSOLOGY
Use in adults
The recommended dose is 1 or 2 drops of BETOPTIC® S Suspension in the
affected eye(s) twice daily. In some patients, the intraocular
pressure lowering
responses to BETOPTIC S Suspension may require a few weeks to
stabilise. As with any new medication, careful monitoring of patients
is advised.
If the intraocular pressure of the patient is not adequately
controlled on this regimen, concomitant therapy with other
anti-glaucoma agents can be
instituted.
When a patient is transferred from a single anti-glaucoma agent,
continue the agent already used and add 1 drop of BETOPTIC S
suspension in the
affected eye(s) twice a day. On the following day, discontinue the
previous anti-glaucoma agent completely and continue with BETOPTIC S
suspension.
When a patient is transferred from several concomitantly administered
anti-glaucoma agents, individualisation is required. Adjustment should
involve 1
agent at a time made at intervals of not less than 1 week.
