Description

Timolol Maleate 0.5% ophthalmic drops are a sterile, non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker used for the management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing IOP, the drops help prevent optic nerve damage and associated vision loss, particularly in patients at risk for glaucoma progression.

The active ingredient, timolol maleate, decreases aqueous humor production in the ciliary body, resulting in reduced intraocular pressure. This mechanism of action does not significantly alter pupil size or accommodation, making it a preferred choice for patients requiring minimal disruption to visual function during treatment.

The formulation is provided in a 15 mL dropper bottle, designed for precise and convenient administration. It is intended for topical use in the eyes and is typically applied once or twice daily, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. Systemic absorption is minimal, but patients are advised to use nasolacrimal occlusion techniques to reduce potential systemic side effects.
