DESCRIPTION
Timolol is a beta blocker used either by mouth or as eye drops. As eye drops it is used to treat increased pressure inside the eye such as in ocular hypertension and glaucoma. By mouth it is used for high blood pressure, chest pain due to insufficient blood flow to the heart, to prevent further complications after a heart attack, and to prevent migraines.
Timolol works by dual mechanism to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, enhances fluid drainage from the eye, reducing IOP. Timolol, a beta-blocker, reduces fluid production in the eye. Together, they effectively regulate IOP, aiding in the management of conditions like glaucoma.
Timolol does not have internal sympathomimetic activity. When applied topically, it reduces intraocular pressure by reducing the formation of aqueous humor and slightly increasing its outflow. The effect manifests itself 20 minutes after instillation, the maximum effect is achieved after 1-2 hours; duration of action is 24 hours.
Mild to Moderate Glaucoma/Ocular Hypertension: One drop in the affected eye(s) once or twice daily. Start with 0.25% concentration; if necessary, increase to 0.5%.
