General Information on Betoptic
Betoptic is prescribed to lower eye pressure in patients with specific eye conditions, such as chronic open angle glaucoma or high eye pressure. The generic name of the drug is betaxolol hydrochloride. It is specifically recommended to treat high eye pressure due to glaucoma (open-angle type), ocular hypertension, or other eye diseases. Betoptic is available in the form of eye-drops (ophthalmic solution).
High pressure in the eye can cause blindness, and the drug works to prevent it by reducing the amount of fluid (aqueous humor) formed within the eye. Betoptic belongs to a family of drugs known as beta blockers or beta adrenergic blocking agents. The medication is completely dissolved in the solution. People who are recommended a dose of the drug don’t need to shake the solution before applying it in their affected eye. You should buy Betoptic if you have been recently diagnosed with ocular hypertension or glaucoma (open-angle type).
Betoptic Side Effects
Most people using Betoptic do not complain about any side effects, but some people may experience side effects such as temporary discomfort in the eyes after using Betoptic eye drops.
Precautions
People who are recommended a dose of Betoptic need to be careful even if it is an eye drop. You should talk to your doctor about any medical condition you might have when you are recommended to use Betopic eye drops. People having medical conditions or ailments such as diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a slow heart rate (bradycardia) or hyperthyroidism should inform their doctor before starting Betopic.
The drug is not suitable for you if you have a history of allergies or have lung problems. It is also necessary that you talk with your doctor about any allergies you may have to any food, preservatives and dyes before your doctor prescribes the drug. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should inform doctor about their medical condition if they seek to treat glaucoma with Betoptic eye drops.
Dosage
The dosage of Betoptic differs from one individual to the other. Doctors take into account different factors before recommending Betoptic eye drop dosage to their patients. Some of the factors that are considered are your age, your response to the medication, other medicines you take, and other medical conditions you may have. The eye drop is available in the strength of 0.5%. Doctors generally recommend a starting dose of 1 drop of Betoptic 0.5 solution in the affected eye twice a day. You must use Betoptic as directed by the doctor to make sure the medication works properly.
Interactions
Betoptic can enter the bloodstream at times. This increases the chances of interactions with other medications. Betoptic could have adverse reactions with alpha blockers such as, but not limited to, Carvedilol (Coreg®), Phenoxybenzamine (Dibenzyline®), lfuzosin (Uroxatral®), Prazosin (Minipress®) or Phentolamine (Regitine®). The drug might also have adverse reactions with prescription drugs for high blood pressure, calcium channel blockers, oral beta blockers, and several other drugs.
