TIMOLET 0.5% DROP 1X5ML

SALTTIMOLOL-0.5%W/V

INTRODUCTIONTIMOLET 0.5 % DROPS belongs to a class of anti-hypertensive drugs called 'beta-blockers' primarily used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions of glaucoma (damage of optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye condition which causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. Ocular hypertension is increased pressure in the eye due to poor drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

USESGlaucoma, Ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure of eyes)

BENEFITTIMOLET 0.5 % DROPS is used to treat increased pressure in the eye in conditions such as glaucoma (damage of optic nerve) and ocular hypertension (high fluid pressure inside the eye). TIMOLET 0.5 % DROPS decreases the secretion of aqueous humour (a liquid that maintains normal pressure in the eyeball) by ciliary body into eyeball. Thereby, lowers pressure in the eye by reducing aqueous humour entry into the eyeball.
