Timoptic (generic name: Timolol Maleate, also called Timoptol, Iotim) is a prescription only medication of the beta blocker type used to lower the pressure in the eyes of persons suffering from ocular hypertension (high eye pressure) or chronic open angle glaucoma – one of the most common causes of blindness in Canada, the United States and Europe. Timoptic has this effect by reducing the aqueous humor, the fluid made by the eye. Timoptic and generic timolol maleate come in multi-drop vials of 10 ml or 5 ml. Timoptic should always be used exactly as your doctor instructs.

Timoptic Side Effects:

Side effects of Timoptic are rare as it is generally well tolerated. Side effects of Timoptic are often the result of imprecise application. Most commonly reported side effects are redness and itching of the eye, swollen eyelids, stinging and short lived visual disturbances for example blurring. Much more rarely, patients using Timoptic have reported the following side effects: wheezing, confusion and disorientation, depression, lethargy, mood swings and crusting and oozing discharge of the eye, coldness of the hands and/or feet. If you experience sudden swelling of the mouth, lips, tongue or throat, difficulty in swallowing or breathing seek medical attention urgently.
