In a double-masked, randomized, multicenter study, 25 patients received timolol 0.5%-pilocarpine 2% twice a day, 25 received timolol 0.5%-pilocarpine 4% twice a day, and 25 received pilocarpine 4% four times a day. The combination drugs showed an immediate, significant reduction in intraocular pressure of 7.2 mm Hg (25%) and 10.7 mm Hg (37%), respectively. The lowered intraocular pressure level was maintained throughout the three-week test period. With pilocarpine alone, intraocular pressure was reduced 5.3 mm Hg (19%). The mean intraocular pressure 12 hours after the last dose compared to two hours after the last dose was significantly higher both in patients receiving pilocarpine four times a day and in patients receiving timolol 0.5%-pilocarpine 4% twice a day (5.1 and 3.6 mm Hg, respectively), but not in patients receiving timolol 0.5%-pilocarpine 2% twice a day (2.6 mm Hg). |
