Betoptic S (Betaxolol) 0.5% Eye Drop 5ml bottle (Betaxolol 0.5% w/v)

Betoptic S (Betaxolol) 0.5% Eye Drop is a highly effective medication designed for the management of elevated intraocular pressure in individuals with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This prescription eye drop is formulated to provide targeted relief, helping to safeguard your vision.

One of the key benefits of Betoptic S is its selective beta-1 adrenergic blocking action, which minimizes systemic side effects while effectively lowering intraocular pressure. This makes it a preferred choice for patients who may be sensitive to non-selective beta-blockers.

Each 5ml bottle of Betoptic S contains a sterile solution that is easy to administer. The convenient dropper allows for precise dosing, ensuring that you receive the correct amount of medication with each application.

Patients using Betoptic S may experience fewer side effects compared to other glaucoma treatments, making it a suitable option for those looking for a well-tolerated therapy. Common side effects may include mild eye irritation or discomfort, which typically resolves quickly.

It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the use of Betoptic S to achieve the best possible results. Regular monitoring of intraocular pressure is essential to assess the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments.

Betoptic S is a reliable choice for those seeking effective management of glaucoma. Consult your eye care professional to determine if Betoptic S is the right option for your eye health needs.

Betoptic S (Betaxolol) 0.5% eye drops are prescribed to manage elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. To ensure the effective use of this medication, follow these detailed instructions:

1. Wash Your Hands: Before handling the eye drops, thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water to prevent contamination.


2. Prepare the Bottle: Shake the bottle gently before use. Remove the cap and ensure that the dropper tip does not touch any surfaces, including your hands or eyes.


3. Position Yourself: Sit or stand in a comfortable position. Tilt your head back slightly to make it easier to apply the drops.


4. Pull Down Your Lower Eyelid: Using your index finger, gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket for the drops.


5. Administer the Drops: Hold the bottle upside down and squeeze gently to release one drop into the pocket formed by your lower eyelid. Avoid touching your eye or eyelid with the dropper tip.


6. Close Your Eyes: After administering the drop, close your eyes gently for a minute. This helps the medication absorb better into your eye.


7. Apply Pressure: To further enhance absorption, you can apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) for about a minute. This reduces the drainage of the medication into the tear duct.


8. Repeat if Necessary: If your doctor has prescribed more than one drop, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before applying the second drop to avoid washing out the first one.


9. Replace the Cap: After use, securely replace the cap on the bottle to prevent contamination.


10. Wash Your Hands Again: After administering the drops and handling the bottle, wash your hands once more to ensure they are clean.

It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding the frequency and dosage of Betoptic S. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up. If you experience any side effects or have concerns about using this medication, consult with your healthcare provider promptly.
