OBJECTIVES: To measure the effectiveness of topical 2% dorzolamide hydrochloride (Trusopt, Merck & Co Inc, Whitehouse Station, NJ) as a suppressor of aqueous humor flow in the human eye as compared with the effectiveness of 0.5% timolol maleate (Timoptic, Merck & Co Inc) and to measure the additivity of the 2 drugs.
DESIGN: A randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study of 40 human subjects was carried out in 2 academic centers (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn, and University of Uppsala, Uppsala, Sweden). The rate of aqueous flow was measured from 8 AM to 4 PM by means of fluorophotometry after administration of doses of each drug singly and both drugs together.
RESULTS: Dorzolamide reduced aqueous flow from 3.07 +/- 0.63 microL/min (mean +/- SD) to 2.53 +/- 0.60 microL/min, a reduction of 18% (P < .001). Timolol reduced aqueous flow from the same beginning rate to 1.64 +/- 0.35 microL/min, a reduction of 47% (P < .001). The inhibitory effect of timolol was 2.6 times the inhibitory effect of dorzolamide (P < .001). The 2 drugs were almost completely additive, and together reduced the flow to 1.37 +/- 0.33 microL/min, a reduction of 55%. Consistent effects were observed on intraocular pressure.
CONCLUSIONS: Timolol is more effective than dorzolamide as a suppressor of aqueous humor flow in the normal human eye. Timolol and dorzolamide are additive in their effects, both on aqueous flow and intraocular pressure.
