Directions of use

The usual starting dose is one drop of timolol 0.25% solution in the affected eye(s) twice daily. If the response to the drops is not adequate, your doctor may change the dose to one drop of timolol 0.5% solution in each of the affected eye twice daily.

Avoid touching the tip of the dispensing container to the eye or around the eye. Eye solutions, if handled improperly, can become contaminated by common bacteria known to cause Eye Infections. Serious damage to the eye and loss of vision may result from using contaminated solutions.

If more than one type of eye drop is being used, the different eye drops should be administered at least 10 minutes apart.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to use Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not instill a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) at room temperature, protect it from light and keep it out of the reach of children. Discard any solution remaining in the dropper bottle one month after the date on which the container is first opened.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent).

Blurred vision: Timolol eye drops may cause temporary blurred vision after putting them in your eyes. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks until you have determined how Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) affects you.

Breathing problems: Like other beta-adrenergic blockers, timolol can cause difficulty breathing for people with asthma and certain other breathing problems. If you have breathing problems, discuss with your doctor how Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent), and whether any special monitoring is needed. Your doctor may want to test your liver function regularly with blood tests while you are taking Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent).

Contact lenses: There are preservatives present in both formulations of timolol eye drops. These preservatives may be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Remove your contact lenses before using timolol drops and wait for at least 15 minutes after using the drops to put the contact lenses back in your eyes.

Diabetes: The signs of Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) may not be as noticeable when using timolol eye drops. People with diabetes who are prone to hypoglycemia or those who are receiving insulin or taking medications that can reduce blood sugar should monitor blood glucose regularly. If you have diabetes or are at risk for developing diabetes, discuss with your doctor how Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

General: As with other topically applied eye drops, Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) may be absorbed into the blood circulation. The same side effects reported with oral medications from the family known as beta-blockers (e.g., timolol, Propranolol, Metoprolol) may occur with the eye drops.

Heart failure: Beta blockers, such as timolol, can slow down the heart rate and may cause severely decreased blood pressure. These effects can make symptoms of heart failure worse. If you have heart disease such as Angina, Congestive Heart Failure, or arrhythmia, discuss with your doctor how Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed. Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you develop symptoms of heart problems such as shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, or swollen ankles.

People with heart failure should be carefully monitored by their doctors while using timolol eye drops.

Overactive Thyroid: Timolol may mask the signs of overactive thyroid, such as rapid heartbeat. If you have been told that you have an overactive thyroid, discuss with your doctor how Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Pregnancy: Timolol has not been studied for use by pregnant women. Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent) should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking Timolol-Eent (Timolol-eent), contact your doctor immediately.
