To compare intraocular pressure lowering effectiveness of a new fixed combination drug.
This is a multicentric, double blind and prospective clinical study. We will include patients with confirmed diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension, with intraocular pressure (IOP) ranging between 21 and 31 mm Hg. Patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups, one of them treated with a new formulation of 0.5% timolol-0.2% brimonidine-2% dorzolamide in fixed combination (Krytantek Ofteno®, Laboratorios Sophia, Mexico) and the other one treated with 0.5% timolol-2% dorzolamide fixed combination (Cosopt®, MSD Laboratories, USA). Patients will receive 1 drop twice a day of either formulations and were examined at days 2, 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90 after initiation of treatment. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of both formulations, estimated as a decrease in IOP. A Goldmann applanation tonometer will be used for IOP determination.

Intraocular Pressure (IOP)
the intraocular pressure was measured by the Goldman tonometer and reported in millimeters of mercury.
Time frame: basal (day 1 ) and final (day 60)
Number of Adverse Events
the numbers of adverse events were quantified by group of studies, the presence of each event was taken as a event.
Time frame: basal (day 1 ) and security call (day 75)
