4 CLINICAL 
PARTICULARS 

4.1 THERAPEUTIC 
INDICATIONS 
Reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle
glaucoma and 
ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical
beta-blockers or 
prostaglandin analogues. 

4.2 
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION 
Recommended dosage for adults (including older people): 
Recommended therapy is one eye drop in the affected eye(s) once
daily. 
If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next
dose as planned. The 
dose should not exceed one drop in the affected eye(s) daily. 
_ _
Method of administration: 
Contact lenses should be removed before instillation of the eye
drops and may be 
reinserted after 15 minutes. 
When using nasolacrimal occlusion or closing the eyelids for
2 minutes, the systemic 
absorption is reduced. This may result in a decrease in
systemic side effects and an 
increase in local activity. 
If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs
should be 
administered at least five minutes apart.
