Indications and Clinical Uses

Acculol 0.5% Eye Drops are indicated for:

• Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• Adjunctive therapy with other antiglaucoma agents, as required.

Betaxolol is a selective beta-adrenergic blocker that reduces aqueous humor production in the eye, leading to lower intraocular pressure without significantly affecting heart and lung function, making it suitable for patients who cannot tolerate non-selective beta-blockers.

Acculol 0.5% Eye Drops are supplied as a clear ophthalmic solution in a 5 mL bottle, designed for precise dosing and convenient self-administration. The formulation ensures effective drug delivery and patient comfort.

With its proven active ingredient, convenient packaging, and high manufacturing standards, Acculol 0.5% helps protect vision and prevent glaucoma progression.
