  • Title: Ocular and cardiovascular response to topical carteolol 2% and timolol 0.5% in healthy volunteers.
    Author: Brazier DJ, Smith SE.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1988 Feb; 72(2):101-3. PubMed ID: 3349009.
    Abstract:
    Ocular and cardiovascular effects of carteolol 2%, timolol 0.5%, and dummy eyedrops have been measured in a single dose double-blind crossover study in six healthy volunteers. Both drugs lowered intraocular pressure and reduced exercise-induced tachycardia. Neither produced a significant change in resting heart rate or blood pressure. The two agents appear comparable as regards ocular hypotensive and cardiovascular effects.
