Description
Uses:
Timolet OD Eye Drops are used to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The active ingredient Timolol (0.5% w/v) is a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker that reduces the production of aqueous humor in the eye, helping to protect the optic nerve and prevent vision loss.
How to Use:
-
Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
-
Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
-
Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) as prescribed.
-
Close your eyes gently and press lightly on the inner corner for 1–2 minutes to prevent drainage.
-
Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface to prevent contamination.
-
If using multiple eye medications, wait at least 5–10 minutes between applications.
Precautions:
-
For ophthalmic use only.
-
Inform your doctor if you have heart disease, asthma, COPD, diabetes, or any eye infections.
-
Avoid use if allergic to Timolol or other beta-blockers.
-
Use with caution in pregnancy or breastfeeding, only under medical supervision.
-
Temporary blurred vision may occur; avoid driving or operating machinery immediately after application.
Dosage:
Typically, 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily (OD), or as directed by your ophthalmologist. Follow the prescribed schedule strictly to maintain optimal intraocular pressure control.
