CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure may be used in
patients with chronic
open angle glaucoma, aphakic glaucoma, some patients with secondary
glaucoma and
patients with ocular hypertension.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Recommended therapy is one drop in the affected eye twice a day.
If
needed,
‘Tiloptic’
may
be
used
with
other
agent(s)
for
lowering
intra-ocular
pressure. The use of two topical beta-adrenergic blocking agents is
not recommended
(see 4.4 ‘Special warnings and precautions for use’).
Intra-ocular pressure should be reassessed approximately four weeks
after starting
treatment because response to ‘Tiloptic’ may take a few weeks to
stabilise.
Provided that the intra-ocular pressure is maintained at satisfactory
levels, many
patients can then be placed on once-a-day therapy.
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.
_Transfer from other agents _
2
When another topical beta-blocking agent is being used, discontinue
its use after a full
day of therapy and start treatment the next day with one drop of
‘Tiloptic’ in each
affected eye twice a day.
When transferring a patient from a single anti-glaucoma agent other
than a topical
beta-blocking agent, continue the agent and add one drop of
‘Tiloptic’ in each affected
eye twice a day. On the following day, d
