  | F M | | | | |||
| 1 | glaucoma | such severe stinging & burning, it nearly put me off eye drops for good | dr switched me to another similar drop called azarga. much much more comfortable. | M | 58 | 4 weeks | 2/1/2010 | 5 | Open-angle glaucoma | Slight stinging/irritabilty in eyes shortly after administering. | I was taking Timoptic 1x/day and was switched to Cosopt 2x/day to try to get eye pressures lower than with the Timoptic. I am doing MUCH better on the Cosopt than I was on the Timoptic, as the beta-blocker ingredient seems to be less potent. I am a runner, and switching to Cosopt has helped me to be able to run faster and more effortlessly than when I was on the Timoptic. And so far my pressures are closer to where my eye doctor wants them to be. | F | 47 | 9 months | 3/24/2008 | 1 | open angle glaucoma | Stinging upon administration of drops, red, itchy eyes, slight headache, allergic eyes | I took timoptic, one of the ingredients in cosopt, for 20 years without problems. But my pressure was creeping up around 25-27, so dr. tried adding the eye diuretic. It was uncomfortable for me and didn't lower the pressure at all. I do have sensitive eyes, though, apparently. Timoptic alone (or generic timolol) never bothered me. | F | 58 | 1 months | 11/17/2007 | 2 | glaucoma | faint-feeling,chest pain,palpitations,dyspnea etc(mostly cardiac/respiratory symptoms) | not a good experience with this drug..prescribed two times a day but only tolerable once a day and I skip a day if symptomatic. ...awful but doc would not change it. i wondered if preservatives were at fault but doc shot that down. | F | 60 | 2 years | 9/15/2007 | 1 | glaucoma | I developed corneal decompensation. I was unable to read, watch TV, drive or do any of the things I usually do. This lasted for several months. | F | 75 | 4 weeks | 2/18/2007 |
