TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML

How TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML Works

• TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers, specifically designed for ophthalmic use. Its primary mechanism of action involves reducing the production of aqueous humor within the eye. Aqueous humor is a clear fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the lens, providing essential nutrients and maintaining the eye's intraocular pressure.
• In individuals with glaucoma or elevated intraocular pressure, the production of aqueous humor often exceeds its drainage, leading to increased pressure inside the eye. This elevated pressure can damage the optic nerve, potentially causing vision loss.
• TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML effectively lowers intraocular pressure by selectively blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body, the structure responsible for producing aqueous humor. By inhibiting these receptors, the medication reduces the rate at which aqueous humor is generated, leading to a decrease in overall fluid volume within the eye.
• This reduction in aqueous humor production helps to restore a healthy balance between production and drainage, alleviating the pressure on the optic nerve and preventing further damage. Consistent use of TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, is crucial for managing glaucoma and preserving vision.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them.

• Burning eyes
• Stinging in the eyes

• Keep TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5ML at room temperature.

• TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML is crucial for managing elevated eye pressure and minimizing the potential for vision impairment.
• To enhance the effectiveness of the eye drops, gently press on the inner corner of your eye, near the nose, for approximately one minute immediately after application. This helps to prevent the medication from draining away too quickly.
• If you are using multiple eye medications, allow a gap of at least 5-10 minutes between each application to prevent dilution and ensure each medication works effectively. This spacing optimizes the absorption and impact of each treatment.
• Inform your doctor if you have any pre-existing lung or heart conditions, as TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML might exacerbate these conditions. Your doctor needs this information to tailor your treatment plan appropriately.
• A stinging sensation is common for a short duration of 1-2 minutes after applying the eye drops. However, if the stinging persists for a longer period or becomes severe, contact your doctor for further advice.
• For optimal potency, ensure you use the eye drops within four weeks of opening the bottle. After this period, the effectiveness of the medication may diminish.
• Store TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying TIMOLAST 0.5% DROPS 5 ML and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. This prevents any interaction between the medication and your contact lenses.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye, to prevent contamination. Contamination can lead to eye infections.
• If you experience any allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, or swelling, discontinue use and seek immediate medical attention.
