Indications

Hypertension Glaucoma

Timodrop Ophthalmic Solution is indicated for ocular hypertension, chronic open-angle glaucoma, and aphakic and secondary glaucoma.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Timolol Maleate belongs to a class of medicines called beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents. It works by lowering raised pressure inside the eye, whether or not that pressure is linked to glaucoma. This effect usually begins fairly quickly, within about 20 minutes of putting the drops in the eye, and reaches its full effect within one to two hours. With Timolol 0.25% or 0.50%, a meaningful reduction in eye pressure can be maintained for as long as 24 hours. Unlike miotic drugs, Timolol has virtually no effect on the size of the pupil, and it has not been found to affect visual acuity.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Timolol Maleate has not yet been studied in pregnant women.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: The usual starting dose is one drop of 0.25% Timolol in the affected eye twice a day. If the response is not adequate, the dose may be changed to one drop of the 0.50% solution in the affected eye twice a day. In some patients, the pressure-lowering effect of Timolol may take a few weeks to stabilise, so evaluation should include measuring intraocular pressure after approximately 4 weeks of treatment with Timolol. If the intraocular pressure is maintained at a satisfactory level, the dosing schedule may be changed to one drop once a day. Use in children: Clinical studies in children have not been conducted. Timolol Maleate is not recommended in premature babies and newborns.
