`
`® ®
`
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`TRAVATAN Z  Solution is indicated for the

`reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP)
`in patients with open­angle glaucoma or ocular
`hypertension.
`Dosing and Administration
`The recommended dosage is one drop in the
`affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
`TRAVATAN Z  Solution should not be

`administered more than once daily since it has
`been shown that more frequent administration
`of prostaglandin analogs may decrease the
`IOP lowering effect.
`TRAVATAN Z  Solution may be used

`concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic
`drug products to lower IOP. If more than one
`topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the
`drugs should be administered at least five (5)
`minutes apart.
`IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
`Warnings and Precautions
`Pigmentation ­ Travoprost ophthalmic solution
`has been reported to increase the pigmentation
`of the iris, periorbital tissue (eyelid) and
`eyelashes. Pigmentation is expected to
`increase as long as travoprost is administered.
`After discontinuation of travoprost,
`pigmentation of the iris is likely to be
`permanent, while pigmentation of the periorbital
`tissue and eyelash changes have been
`reported to be reversible in some patients. The
`long term effects of increased pigmentation are
`not known. While treatment with TRAVATAN Z

`Solution can be continued in patients who
`develop noticeably increased iris pigmentation,
`these patients should be examined regularly.
`Eyelash Changes ­ TRAVATAN Z  Solution

`may gradually change eyelashes and vellus
`hair in the treated eye. These changes include
`increased length, thickness, and number of
`lashes. Eyelash changes are usually reversible
`upon discontinuation of treatment.
`Intraocular Inflammation ­ TRAVATAN Z

`Solution should be used with caution in patients
`
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`SIMBRINZA  Suspension is a fixed

`combination indicated in the reduction of
`elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients
`with open­angle glaucoma or ocular
`hypertension.
`Dosage and Administration
`The recommended dose is one drop of
`SIMBRINZA  Suspension in the affected
`eye(s) three times daily. Shake well before use.
`SIMBRINZA  Suspension may be used
`concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic
`drug products to lower intraocular pressure. If
`more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being
`used, the drugs should be administered at least
`five (5) minutes apart.
`IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
`Contraindications
`SIMBRINZA  Suspension is contraindicated in

`patients who are hypersensitive to any
`component of this product and neonates and
`infants under the age of 2 years.
`Warnings and Precautions
`Sulfonamide Hypersensitivity Reactions ­
`Brinzolamide is a sulfonamide, and although
`administered topically, is absorbed
`systemically. Sulfonamide attributable adverse
`reactions may occur. Fatalities have occurred
`due to severe reactions to sulfonamides.
`Sensitization may recur when a sulfonamide is
`readministered irrespective of the route of
`administration. If signs of serious reactions or
`hypersensitivity occur, discontinue the use of
`this preparation.
`Corneal Endothelium—There is an increased
`potential for developing corneal edema in
`patients with low endothelial cell counts.
`Severe Hepatic or Renal Impairment (CrCl <30
`mL/min)—SIMBRINZA  Suspension has not

`been specifically studied in these patients and
`is not recommended.

`
`INDICATIONS AND USAGE
`AZOPT  Suspension is a carbonic anhydrase

`inhibitor (CAI) indicated in the treatment of
`elevated intraocular pressure in patients with
`ocular hypertension or open­angle glaucoma.
`Dosage and Administration
`The recommended dose is one drop of
`AZOPT  Suspension in the affected eye(s)

`three times daily. If more than one topical
`ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs
`should be administered at least ten (10)
`minutes apart.
`IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
`Contraindications
`AZOPT  Suspension is contraindicated in

`patients who are hypersensitive to any
`component of this product.
`Warnings and Precautions
`Sulfonamide Hypersensitivity Reactions ­
`AZOPT  Suspension is a sulfonamide and

`although administered topically it is absorbed
`systemically. The same types of adverse
`reactions that are attributable to sulfonamides
`may occur with topical administration of
`AZOPT  Suspension. Fatalities have occurred,

`although rarely, due to severe reactions to
`sulfonamides. Sensitization may recur when a
`sulfonamide is re­administered irrespective of
`the route of administration. If signs of serious
`reactions or hypersensitivity occur, discontinue
`the use.
`Corneal Endothelium ­ Carbonic anhydrase
`activity has been observed in both the
`cytoplasm and around the plasma membranes
`of the corneal endothelium. There is an
`increased potential for developing corneal
`edema in patients with low endothelial cell
`counts. Caution should be used when
`prescribing AZOPT  Suspension to this group

`of patients.
`Severe Renal Impairment ­ AZOPT

`Suspension has not been studied in patients

`Concomitant administration with oral carbonic

`dose salicylate may result in acid­base and

`depressants may result in an additive or
`potentiating effect. Use with
`antihypertensives/cardiac glycosides may
`result in additive or potentiating effect on
`lowering blood pressure. Use with tricyclic
`antidepressants may blunt the hypotensive
`effect of systemic clonidine and it is unknown if
`use with this class of drugs interferes with IOP
`lowering. Use with monoamine oxidase
`inhibitors may result in increased hypotension.
