PURPOSE
Brinzolamide and dorzolamide are often used as adjunctive therapy to other antiglaucoma agents. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of brinzolamide 1% versus dorzolamide 1% when added to the combination therapy of latanoprost and a beta-blocker in patients with glaucoma.
METHODS
An 8-week, randomized, open-label comparative study was performed in 52 patients with glaucoma. Brinzolamide 1% (twice a day) or dorzolamide 1% (3 times a day) was randomly administered to the patients who had been treated with both latanoprost and a betablocker.
RESULTS
Intraocular pressure (IOP) were both decreased significantly (P < 0.0001) from 18.6 +/- 2.3 mmHg to 16.7 +/- 2.3 mmHg and from 18.4 +/- 2.6 mmHg to 16.6 +/- 2.5 mmHg, respectively, 8 weeks after the addition of brinzolamide or dorzolamide. However, the difference between the groups was not significant (P = 0.86). The incidence of ocular irritation was significantly higher (P < 0.0001) in the dorzolamide group (74%) than the brinzolamide group (16%), but there was no significant difference in blurred vision between the groups (dorzolamide 37% versus brinzolamide 52%, P = 0.40).
CONCLUSIONS
We concluded that the efficacy of brinzolamide 1% was equivalent to dorzolamide 1%; however, the safety of brinzolamide 1% was superior to dorzolamide 1% as adjunctive therapy to the combination with latanoprost and a beta-blocker.
