Betaxolol

Uses

Betaxolol is used in the treatment of ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

How it Works

How Betaxolol Works Betaxolol is a beta blocker that decreases the production of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye), thereby lowering elevated intraocular pressure.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Betaxolol include eye discomfort, blurred vision, headache, and increased lacrimation.

Expert Advice

  • Betaxolol helps lower elevated intraocular pressure and reduces the risk of vision loss.
  • Notify your doctor if you have lung or heart diseases, as Betaxolol may exacerbate these conditions.
  • Apply pressure to the corner of the eye (near the nose) for approximately 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop.
  • Wait at least 5-10 minutes before administering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
  • A stinging sensation may occur for 1-2 minutes; notify your doctor if it persists longer.
  • Ensure to use the medication within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.

Frequently asked questions

Betaxolol lowers intraocular pressure, reducing the risk of optic nerve damage and potential blindness. It effectively manages ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma.
Use Betaxolol as prescribed by your doctor, typically once or twice daily at regular intervals until the eye pressure is controlled, then possibly reducing to once daily. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully.
Remove contact lenses before applying Betaxolol and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them. Contact your doctor if you experience persistent eye irritation.
Possible side effects include blurred vision, headache, watery eyes, eye redness, irritation, and discomfort. Consult your doctor if any side effects are bothersome.
Do not discontinue Betaxolol without consulting your doctor, as sudden cessation may lead to uncontrolled eye pressure and increased risk of vision loss.
