Babić Nikola (Medical Faculty, Novi Sad + Clinical Center of Vojvodina, Eye Clinic, Novi Sad)
The first line treatment in the management of glaucoma is topical medical
therapy. Many patients with glaucoma require multiple medications for
adequate intraocular pressure control. For patients who need multi-dose
regimens to control intraocular pressure, fixed combinations offer
convenience, efficacy and safety. This review summarizes the role, efficacy,
mechanism of action and indications for use of modern fixed combination of
topical glaucoma medications. The review shows the advantages and
disadvantages of a prescribing fixed combination in daily clinical practice.
