About Timolet Plus Eye Drop 5 ml

Timolet Plus Eye Drop 5 ml is a combination drug containing 'ophthalmic medication' used to treat raised pressure in the eye in conditions such as ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Ocular hypertension is a condition in which the eye's pressure is higher than normal as a result of poor drainage of the aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye). Glaucoma is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye. If this condition is left untreated, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

Timolet Plus Eye Drop 5 ml contains Pilocarpine and Timolol. Pilocarpine is a cholinergic agonist and works by draining the excess fluid from the eye, thereby reducing pressure. Timolol is a beta-blocker and works by decreasing the fluid production in the eye, thereby lowering the pressure in the eye. Timolet Plus Eye Drop 5 ml should be used only in the infected eye, and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.

Use Timolet Plus Eye Drop 5 ml exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The common side-effects of Timolet Plus Eye Drop 5 ml are burning or stinging sensation, itching, irritation, and pain at the application site, swelling in front of the eye, headache and brow ache, bleeding within the front of the eye, and detachment of the retina (the inner surface of the eye). However, if any of these side effects persist or get worse, inform your doctor immediately.

It should be used with caution in children or adolescents under the age of 18 years, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Ocular hypertension: It is a condition in which the eye's pressure is higher than normal due to poor drainage of the aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye). Essentially, this means that too much fluid enters the eye without being drained, causing high amounts of pressure to build up. The increased pressure can be due to certain other diseases, an injury, or an adverse effect of certain medications. If left untreated, it can lead to optic nerve damage and permanent vision loss.

Glaucoma: It is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (essential for good vision) due to abnormally increased pressure in the eye. If it is not treated in time, it may cause blindness. Usually, there are no symptoms of glaucoma initially except the slow loss of vision gradually. However, some symptoms include visible rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights or blurred vision. Rarely, glaucoma can develop suddenly with intense pain in the eye, visual disturbance, or nausea.
