Has anyone taken the generic verision of Dorzolamide-Timolol and is it as good as the non-generic verision? Thanks. s. hay ## I used this drug as sold under the Sandoz Inc label briefly. Whenever I dispenser a drop to an eye, it left a second drop hanging on the tip of the dispenser. Thus, I ran out of the med too soon so that I had to go back to Cosopt. I wonder if others have experienced this problem?

I have been on Dorzolamide - Timolol for the past eight months , for use in one eye . This drug has reduced my eye pressure from 21 to 13 . I receive a 10 ML vial or bottle, which should last approximately 45 days . However after about 28 days the bottle is empty with proper use . What i discovered in the first four bottles is that , they were approx. 70 % full . I registered a complaint with my health insurance , which informed me to check the level of the bottle before leaving the pharmacy. When i acquired the fifth bottle , it was completely filled or 100%. I served on a Grand Jury for medicaid fraud . This is no doubt a case of fraud . A prescription bottle of Dorzolamide - Ttimolol 10 ML should be filled to the top of the bottle. ## Have you informed your pharmacy of the issue? Hav...

Betaxolol

Betaxolol is a selective beta1 receptor blocker used in the treatment of hypertension and glaucoma.[1] Being selective for beta1 receptors, it typically has fewer systemic side effects than non-selective beta-blockers, for example, not causing bronchospasm (mediated by beta2 receptors) as timolol may. Betaxolol also shows greater affinity for beta1 receptors than metoprolol. In addition to its effect on the heart, betaxolol reduces the pressure within the eye (intraocular pre...
