INTRODUCTION

TIMOLONG
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.

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

HOW TIMOLONG WORKS

TIMOLONG
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.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Use
TIMOLONG as advised by your physician. It is for external use only. It
is important that your soft contact lenses are removed before using this
medicine and not put back into your eyes for at least 15 minutes. Tilt
your head back and pull down your lower eyelid. Make sure you wash your
hands and do not touch any surface while using it. Keep the eyes closed
for as long as possible and apply pressure to the corner of the eye.
Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration for you depending
upon your age, body weight and disease condition.
