Tương tác
Dorzolamide: May result in additive effect with other oral and topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
Timolol: May have additive effects resulting in hypotension and/or marked bradycardia with Ca channel blockers, catecholamine-depleting drugs (e.g. reserpine), oral β-adrenergic blocking agents, parasympathomimetics, antiarrhythmics (e.g. amiodarone), digitalis glycosides, guanethidine, narcotics and MAOIs. Potentiated systemic β-blockade (e.g. decreased heart rate, depression) with CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. quinidine, paroxetine, fluoxetine). Concomitant use with epinephrine resulted in mydriasis. May increase the hypoglycaemic effect of antidiabetic agents.
Tác dụng
Description: Mechanism of Action: Dorzolamide reversibly inhibits the carbonic anhydrase in the ciliary processes of the eye resulting in the reduced formation of the bicarbonate ions with subsequent reduction in Na and fluid transport, thus decreasing the production of aqueous humour and lowering intraocular pressure.
Timolol is a non-selective β-adrenergic receptor antagonist. Although its exact mechanism in reducing intraocular pressure has not been clearly defined, it is suggested that its predominant action may be related to reducing aqueous humour production or probably by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour. Onset: Timolol: Intraocular pressure reduction: 30 minutes. Duration: Dorzolamide: 8-12 hours.
Timolol: 24 hours. Pharmacokinetics: Absorption: Dorzolamide: Absorbed systemically after topical administration to the eye.
Timolol: Low concentrations are found in the plasma. Distribution: Dorzolamide: Accumulates in the RBCs (during chronic dosing). Plasma protein binding: Approx 33%.
Timolol: Crosses the placenta and enters the breast milk. Metabolism: Dorzolamide: Metabolised into N-desethyl metabolite (less potent).
Timolol: Extensively metabolised in the liver. Excretion: Dorzolamide: Via urine (as unchanged drug and N-desethyl metabolite). Elimination half-life: Approx 4 months following rapid decline after nonlinear wash out from RBCs.
Timolol: Via urine (as metabolites with some unchanged drug). Elimination half-life: 4 hours.
