Timoptic and Betoptic drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Timoptic (timolol maleate) and Betoptic (betaxolol hydrochloride). Common drug interactions include therapeutic response decreased among females and abdominal pain among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Timoptic and Betoptic. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 21 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Timoptic?
Timoptic has active ingredients of timolol maleate. It is often used in glaucoma. eHealthMe is studying from 4,247 Timoptic users. Check the latest studies of Timoptic.
What is Betoptic?
Betoptic has active ingredients of betaxolol hydrochloride. eHealthMe is studying from 1,300 Betoptic users. Check the latest studies of Betoptic.
21 people who take Timoptic and Betoptic together, and have interactions are studied.
