combination therapy of glaucoma

Besides the risk of fatal asthmatic attack if you have an asthma history?  Cardiac failure, migraines, fatigue…. It also contains a sulfonamide, so if you’re allergic to sulfa drugs, it’s a no-no. http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic2/dorzol_ad.htm for "side effects & drug interactions".  Also check out the tab "warnings, precautions" Sherry ICanSee <clear…@bellatlantic.net> wrote in <3ACFFB39.B13E2…@bellatlantic.net>: – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->I think it important you advise the group what these severe side >effects may have been. >Roy Davidson wrote: >> I was on Xalatan monotherapy and then put on Cosopt (a combination >> CAI and Beta Blocker) along with the Xalatan.

Response:

Some of the side-effects of Cosopt include a bad taste in the mouth, exacerbation of respiratory problems, increased need to go to the bathroom, loss of sleep, fatigue, muscular weakness and soreness. Despite this and other possible side effects mentioned in the instruction sheet, it may be worth using if it keeps the IOP down and forestalls the possibility of further optic nerve damage.

I was on Xalatan monotherapy and then put on Cosopt (a combination CAI and Beta Blocker) along with the Xalatan. There was possibly a slight decrease in IOP when measured from 22 to 21 or 20 with the combination. However, I believe there are severe side effects with the Cosopt and have discontinued it for the past week or so.

Response:

Everybody good luck! Nowadays It is prescribing combination therapy of topical CAI solutions or prostglandin drugs and beta blocker solutions. Could you tell me carteolol ophtalmic solution and Xalatan combination therapy have been exprienced. I know that combination therapy data have the effect of IOP reduction than Xalatan monotherapy. I’m thinking of carteolol ophtalmic solution still effective for glaucoma and ocular hypertension patients because of no undesirable effect on the cardiovascular system and little ocular irritation.
