INTRODUCTION ABOUT TIMOSTAR 0.5% EYE DROPS

TIMOSTAR
0.5% EYE DROPS 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.

patients having respiratory problems like asthma and heart problems.
