    brinzolamide and timolol 0.5% combined

    I'm off work this week so can anyone give me the heads up on a new combined eye drops that came out in May 2009.
    I'm trying to find out the name, hospital doctor couldn't remember the name and the hospital pharmacist told me it was Cosopt, didn't like to tell him that I know it wasn't that one.
    I have tried to Google it but came up with nothing.
    Thanks in advance.

    All part of the service.
    Azarga is also a race horse according to google.

    Does Azarga work out cheaper, for a doctor, to prescribe than timolol 0.5 and brinzolamide on their own? My guess is it won't be as it Azarga is new.
    Only asking so that I can let hubby's GP know next time his drops are due.

    Works out easier for the patient, as only one lot of drops to instill.

    Easier for me too. I'm the one that has to remember to put the damn drops in, frequently forgetting about the second lot.
