In glaucoma therapy beta-blocator, timolol-maleate, is the first-line medicine of selection, whereas a miotic, pilocarpine chloride, is one of the oldest medicines used for the treatment of this illness. They are applied as eye drops. In order to achieve a better therapeutic effect and improve life quality of the ill, we produced and tested eye drops formulations based on combining pilocarpinechloride and timolol maleate in buffers of diferent pH values.
