Timolol maleate
Description:
Timolet OD Eye Drop contains timolol maleate, a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker. It is used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension by reducing the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). Timolol works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye).
The “OD” in the name likely indicates “once daily,” suggesting a formulation designed for once-a-day application. The usual dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Common side effects can include eye irritation, blurred vision, and a stinging sensation in the eye.
Systemic side effects, although less common with eye drops, can occur due to absorption into the bloodstream and may include slowed heart rate or lowered blood pressure. Patients with certain heart or respiratory conditions should use timolol eye drops with caution.
