Dosage and Administration
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dose is one drop of metipranolol ophthalmic solution in the affected eye(s) twice a day.
If the patient’s IOP is not at a satisfactory level on this regimen, use of more frequent administration or a larger dose of metipranolol ophthalmic solution is not known to be of benefit. Concomitant therapy to lower intraocular pressure can be instituted.
In clinical trials, metipranolol ophthalmic solution was safely used during concomitant therapy with pilocarpine, epinephrine, or acetazolamide.[1]
