title: [Treatment of glaucoma chronicum simplex with a combination of 0.5 percent timolol with 0.5 percent adrenaline plus 0.3 percent guanethidine].
abstract: The effect on the intraocular pressure of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma of a combination of timolol 0.5% with epinephrine 0.5% plus guanethidine 3% was studied and compared with the effects of timolol alone, of epinephrine 0.5% plus guanethidine 3%, and of other glaucoma drugs. The combination of timolol 0.5% with epinephrine 0.5% plus guanethidine 3% had a stronger effect on intraocular pressure (reduction 10.9 +/- 1.1 mm Hg) than epinephrine 0.5% plus guanethidine 3% (7.6 +/- 0.9 mm Hg) or timolol alone (5.8 +/- 1.1 mm Hg) or other glaucoma drugs. However, when the three substances are administered in combination therapy may show an addition of both pressure-lowering and side effects.
