AZARGA Transition Study in Taiwan for Patients With Uncontrolled Intraocular Pressure

Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Switching to AZARGA® (Brinzolamide/Timolol Fixed Combination) as Replacement Therapy in Patients With Uncontrolled Intraocular Pressure in Taiwan

The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of switching to Azarga from prior pharmacotherapy in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
