Hi Libby!
You can find the info you need about Glaucoma in :CLinical therapy in
breastfeeding patients, from our dear Thomas Hale.
He writes that 'several studies of timolol have shown no effect on nursing
infants. Betaxolol may be a second choice following one report of side
effects in a nursing infant'.
suggested reading: Dreyer EB, et al New perspectives on glaucoma. JAMA 1999
Jan 27;281(4):306-8
ALward WL. Medical management of glaucoma. N Engl. J. Med. 1998 Oct 29;
339(18):1298-307. Review.
Podolsky MM. Exposing glaucoma. Primary care physicians are instrumental in
early detection. Postgrad Med. 1998 May; 103(5):131-6, 142-3, 147-8. Review.
You can find Thomas' homepage at: http://neonatal.ttuhsc.edu/lact/
In the forums you can also find some information about medications and
glaucoma.
Hope this helps a little.
