EFFICACY /T

KEY MESSAGES

X Compared to preserved eye drops, PF preparations were significantly less associated
with ocular symptoms.

X Local tolerability improved in 84.6% of patients compared to their previous glaucoma
treatment.

X In daily practice, switching to DTFC improves local tolerability.

STRENGTHS

X A 3-month prospective study (2298 patients) evaluating tolerability of PF DTFC.
X The results of this study underline the good tolerability, the safety profile with low inci-
dence of adverse events, and the pronounced IOP-lowering.

X This study adds further evidence concerning the benefit of PF eye drops in glaucoma
treatment.

WEAKNESSES

X Open study – non interventional

MARKETING CLAIM

X Switching from preserved treatment to unpreserved Dorzolamide-Timolol combination
improves local tolerability.
