How It Works

Timolol is a topically-applied medication that can be directly instilled into the eye to reduce internal eye pressure. It is a non-selective beta blocking medication that works to reduce aqueous humor production through the blocking of beta-2 receptors within the ciliary body, resulting in decreased production of AMP. This reduction leads to decreased intraocular pressure.

Indications

Timolol Maleate ophthalmic solution is indicated in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.

One drop in the eye once or twice daily.

Caution:

The dropper opening is sterile, so don?t touch it to any surface, including eyes or hands. If it becomes contaminated, it may cause an infection in the eye.

Precautions:

Timolol maleate should not be used in pets with a history of hypersensitivity to it or any component of the formulation. Used with caution, if at all, in pets with heart block, bradycardia, heart failure, asthma, chronic bronchitis or other cardiopulmonary conditions. If you observe any unusual signs in your pet, contact your vet immediately.

This drug is FDA-approved for human use. However, it is common practice for veterinarians to prescribe such drugs for use in dogs and cats.
