Abstract:

Eighteen dogs presented to the Veterinary College Hospital, Bangalore exhibiting clinical signs of glaucoma and IOP more than 25 mmHg were selected. These dogs were divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each and were subjected to therapeutic management of glaucoma. Group I was treated with Timolol Maleate ophthalmic solution, 1 drop, BID, Group II was treated with Dorzolamide and Timolol, 1 drop, BID and Group III was treated with Latanoprost and Timolol, 1 drop, BID . The duration of therapy was for 2 months and the dogs were monitored every once in 15 days i.e., day 0, day 15, day 30, day 45 and day 60 following initiation of therapy. It was found that Group III dogs treated with Latanoprost and Timolol combination responded better than the other two groups followed closely by Group II dogs treated with Dorzolamide and Timolol combination whereas monotherapy with Timolol was not very effective.


Keywords: Timolol, Dorzolamide and Timolol fixed combination, Latanoprost and Timolol fixed combination, glaucoma.
