𧬠What is Iobet Eye Drop (Betaxolol)?
Iobet Eye Drop (Betaxolol) by FDC Limited is a cardioselective beta-1 blocker ophthalmic solution designed for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT). Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, Betaxolol selectively targets beta-1 receptors, minimizing pulmonary side effects and making it suitable for patients with respiratory conditions.
Betaxolol decreases the formation of aqueous humor within the eye, helping to reduce the pressure that could otherwise lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss. It is commonly used as monotherapy or as part of combination treatment when a single agent is insufficient.
This ophthalmic solution is well tolerated and typically used twice daily. It is particularly favored for patients who have contraindications to systemic beta-blockers or need a safer ocular profile.
