Metipranolol Ophthalmic (Metipranolol) - Indications and Dosage

 
 



INDICATIONS AND USAGE

Metipranolol ophthalmic solution is indicated in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open angle glaucoma.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

The recommended dose is one drop of metipranolol ophthalmic solution in the affected eye(s) twice a day.

If the patient's IOP is not at a satisfactory level on this regimen, use of more frequent administration or a larger dose of metipranolol ophthalmic solution is not known to be of benefit. Concomitant therapy to lower intraocular pressure can be instituted.

In clinical trials, metipranolol ophthalmic solution was safely used during concomitant therapy with pilocarpine, epinephrine, or acetazolamide.
