Abstract
Topically administered bimatoprost 0.03%/timolol 0.5% ophthalmic solution (bimatoprost/timolol: Ganfort) comprises the synthetic prostamide bimatoprost (structurally related to prostaglandin F2 alpha) and the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist timolol. Bimatoprost/timolol (one drop administered in the affected eye[s] once daily in the morning or evening) is an effective and well tolerated fixed combination for lowering intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (OHT), including individuals uncontrolled on monotherapy with a beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist or prostaglandin analogue/prostamide.Entities:
