We found an increased risk of ADRs with a Relative Risk (RR) for simultaneous use of TBD + ophthalmic ciprofloxacin and TBD + oral atorvastatin; 2.0309 (95% CI, 1.2467– 3.3083) and 1.8864 (95% CI, 1.0543– 3.3754), respectively. Two unexpected ADRs were discovered, both of which presented belonged to the System Organ Class (SOC) of “infections and infestations” and the preferred term (PT) of “nasopharyngitis.”.Conclusion: Three safety signals were identified, two of them corresponded to an increase in the incidence of ADRs and the last one is associated with 2 unexpected ADR. Nevertheless, we found a good tolerability profile for TBD in the study population.Keywords: adverse drug reactions, active pharmacovigilance, surveillance, glaucoma, timolol/brimonidine/dorzolamideContreras-Salinas HBarajas-Hernández MBaiza-Durán LMVázquez-Álvarez AOBautista-Castro MARodríguez-Herrera LYDove Medical Pressarticleadverse drug reactionsactive pharmacovigilancesurveillanceglaucomatimolol/brimonidine/dorzolamide.OphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 583-590 (2021)
