Timolol for glaucoma

A 70-year-old woman treated with topical timolol for glaucoma developed a papular eruption on the arms and back, consistent with prurigo. All tests were within the reference ranges. There was no improvement after 1 month of topical corticosteroids. The eruption cleared completely within 1 month of timolol withdrawal. Betaxolol eye-drops were introduced and the eruption recurred within 1 week. When beta-blocker therapy was replaced by synthetic cholinergic eye-drops (drug unspecified) the eruption cleared completely without any recurrence a year later.
