Betoptic-S Eye Drops 0.25% 5ml contain Betaxolol, a cardioselective beta1-blocker that reduces intraocular pressure by decreasing aqueous humour production in the ciliary body. Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, Betaxolol carries a lower risk of bronchospasm, making it suitable for patients with respiratory conditions.

Description
Betoptic-S Eye Drops 0.25% 5ml contain Betaxolol, a cardioselective beta1-adrenergic receptor blocking agent used to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in chronic open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By selectively blocking beta1-receptors in the ciliary body, Betaxolol reduces aqueous humour production and lowers IOP, protecting the optic nerve from progressive damage.
Unlike non-selective beta-blockers, Betaxolol's cardioselectivity makes it a preferred option for patients with mild-to-moderate respiratory or cardiac concerns. The suspension formulation provides sustained contact time and effective pressure reduction when instilled once or twice daily as prescribed.
