What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Product Details
Description
Ophthalmic betaxolol is prescribed to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition caused by increased pressure in the eye, which gradually leads to vision loss.
Ophthalmic betaxolol comes as an eye drop.
Directions
Use betaxolol eye drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any questions or concerns you have about the medication.
Betaxolol eye drops are typically used two times a day. Wash your hands before and after use.
Wait at least 10 minutes between using other topical eye products and betaxolol eye drops.
Do not let the tip of the container touch any surface; this will help avoid contamination.
Ophthalmic betaxolol should be stored at room temperature. Keep the medication away from children.
Ingredients
Betaxolol eye drops contain betaxolol, a beta-blocker.
Contraindications
Patients with an allergy to betaxolol should not use the medication. In addition, patients with sinus bradycardia, heart block greater than first degree, cardiogenic shock, or heart failure should not use betaxolol eye drops.
Cautions
- Before you begin treatment with betaxolol eye drops, talk to your doctor about:
- All the prescription and over-the-counter medications you take, including other eye medications
- Your allergies
- Your current health problems and past medical history
- Your pregnancy or breastfeeding status
- Ophthalmic betaxolol should be used cautiously in patients with diabetes, as the medication can mask signs and symptoms of low blood sugar.
- Betaxolol can mask clinical signs of hyperthyroidism.
- Before undergoing any surgeries or procedures, tell your doctor that you are using betaxolol eye drops.
- The same adverse effects associated with systemic beta-blocker use may also occur with ophthalmic betaxolol use.
Side Effects
Eye discomfort is a possible ophthalmic betaxolol side effect; however, this is not the only side effect that can occur. Contact your doctor right away if you have side effects that bother you or won’t go away.
