Uses of Betoptic-S Eye Drop 0.25% 5 ml Drops

Betoptic-S Eye Drop 0.25% 5 ml Drops eye drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Keeping eye pressure down helps protect the optic nerve and prevent gradual loss of vision. It does not restore sight already lost, so it needs to be used every day, usually long term.

How Betoptic-S Eye Drop 0.25% 5 ml Drops works

Betaxolol is a cardioselective beta-blocker. In the eye, it reduces the amount of watery fluid (aqueous humour) produced, which lowers the pressure inside the eye. It acts mainly on beta-1 receptors, so it affects the lungs less than some other beta-blocker drops.

Possible side effects

Most side effects of Betoptic-S Eye Drop 0.25% 5 ml Drops affect the eye and are short-lived:

• Stinging or discomfort on putting drops in
• Watery eyes
• Brief blurred vision
• Itchy or red eyes
• Dry eyes

Stop using it and get medical advice if you have wheezing or breathlessness, a very slow heartbeat, fainting, or severe eye pain or swelling.

Precautions and warnings

• Use every day as prescribed; keep regular eye pressure checks.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, COPD, heart failure, a slow heart rate or heart block, even though it is more selective than other beta-blockers.
• If you have diabetes, it may hide signs of low blood sugar; tell your doctor if you take beta-blocker tablets too.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye; remove soft contact lenses before use and wait before putting them back.
• If you use other eye drops, leave a few minutes between them.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
