INTRODUCTION

GLUCOTIM
LA contains Timolol which belongs to the group of medicines called
Beta-blockers. It is used to manage raised pressure in eyes which occurs
in various conditions including glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Ocular hypertension is when the pressure inside the eye is higher than
normal with no signs of vision loss. Glaucoma is a group of eye
conditions that damage the optic nerve and can cause blindness. Symptoms
include patchy blind spots, severe headache, eye pain and redness,
nausea, vomiting, blurred vision and halos around lights.

Timolol
inhibits binding of certain receptors (beta receptors) on the tissues
lining the inner wall of eyeball. These tissues increase the production
of aqueous humor (fluid of the eye). So, by inhibiting beta receptors,
there is a reduction in aqueous humor production and therefore,
intraocular pressure reduces. It is important that your soft contact
lenses are removed before using this medicine and not placed back into
your eyes for at least 15 minutes. Prior to the management, your doctor
may want you to take certain eye tests to understand your existing
condition.

GLUCOTIM LA is not recommended for use in patients
having respiratory problems like asthma and heart problems. Before using
GLUCOTIM LA, inform your doctor if you have or ever had low blood
pressure, problems with blood circulation, thyroid glands, diabetes, or
you wear contact lens. GLUCOTIM LA is generally not recommended for use
in pregnant and breastfeeding women. There is only very limited data
available on the use of GLUCOTIM LA in children. Consult your doctor
before using. The most common side effects of using GLUCOTIM LA are eye
irritation, double vision, headache, depression, dizziness, and nausea.
Contact your doctor if any of the symptoms worsen.

HOW GLUCOTIM LA WORKS

GLUCOTIM
LA inhibits binding of certain receptors (beta receptors) on the
tissues lining the inner wall of eyeball. These tissues increase the
production of aqueous humor (fluid of the eye). So, by inhibiting beta
receptors, there is a reduction in aqueous humor production and
therefore, pressure in the eyes reduces. The exact mechanism of action
is not clearly established.
