Tell the doctor about any medical or eye problems the patient has now or has had in the past: coronary heart disease (symptoms can include chest pain or tightness, breathlessness, or choking), heart failure, low blood pressure; disturbances of heart rate such as slow heart beat; breathing problems, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; poor blood circulation disease (such as Raynaud's disease or Raynaud's syndrome); diabetes as timolol may mask signs and symptoms of low blood sugar; overactivity of the thyroid gland as timolol may mask signs and symptoms.
Tell the doctor before the patient has an operation that they are using LAMISOPT PLUS as timolol may change effects of some medicines used during anaesthesia.
Also tell the doctor about any allergies or allergic reactions including hives, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and/or throat which may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing.
Tell the doctor if the patient has muscle weakness or has been diagnosed as having myasthenia gravis.
If the patient develops any eye irritation or any new eye problems such as redness of the eye or swelling of the eyelids, contact the doctor immediately.
If the patient suspects that LAMISOPT PLUS is causing an allergic reaction or hypersensitivity (for example, skin rash, severe skin reaction, or redness and itching of the eye), stop using this medicine and contact the doctor immediately.
Tell the doctor if the patient develops an eye infection, receives an eye injury, has eye surgery, or develops a reaction including new or worsening symptoms.
When LAMISOPT PLUS is instilled into the eye it may affect the entire body. If the patient wears soft contact lenses, they should consult the doctor before using this medicine.
Use in patients with liver impairment: Tell the doctor about any liver problems the patient now has or has suffered from in the past.
LAMISOPT PLUS contains benzalkonium chloride: This preservative may be deposited in soft contact lenses and may possibly discolour the lenses. Remove contact lenses prior to application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinsertion. If the patient wears contact lenses, the patient should consult the doctor before using this medicine.
Driving and using machines: No studies on the effects on the ability to drive or use machines have been performed. There are side effects associated with LAMISOPT PLUS, such as blurred vision, which may affect the ability to drive and/or operate machinery. Do not drive or operate machinery until the patient feels well or the vision is clear.
Use in Children: There is limited experience with the combination of dorzolamide and timolol in infants and children.
Use in Elderly: In studies with the combination of dorzolamide and timolol, the effects of this medicine were similar in both elderly and younger patients.
