INTRODUCTION ABOUT TIMOBEN 0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION

TIMOBEN
0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION 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.

TIMOBEN 0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION is not recommended
for use in patients having respiratory problems like asthma and heart
problems. Before using TIMOBEN 0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION, inform your
doctor if you have or ever had low blood pressure, problems with blood
circulation, thyroid glands, diabetes, or you wear contact lens. TIMOBEN
0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION is generally not recommended for use in
pregnant and breastfeeding women. There is only very limited data
available on the use of TIMOBEN 0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION in children.
Consult your doctor before using. The most common side effects of using
TIMOBEN 0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION are eye irritation, double vision,
headache, depression, dizziness, and nausea. Contact your doctor if any
of the symptoms worsen.

HOW TIMOBEN 0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION WORKS

TIMOBEN
0.5% OPHTHALMIC SOLUTION 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.
