Timogold Eye Drop is used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (high pressure inside the eye) in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. Timogold Eye Drop is a beta blocker that helps reduce the risk of vision loss in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. It lowers the pressure in the eye by decreasing the production of fluid. Always wash your hands before using Timogold Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you are also using other eye medicines, wait for at least 10 minutes before using them.
Timogold Eye Drop is a beta blocker. It works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
What does Timogold Eye Drop do?
Timogold Eye Drop reduces intraocular pressure, which helps to reduce the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss. If pressure is not controlled over time, it can lead to blindness. Timogold Eye Drop effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing eye pressure.
How should you use Timogold Eye Drop?
Timogold Eye Drop eye drops are usually instilled once or twice a day at evenly spaced intervals until the pressure in the eye is controlled (about 4 weeks). After that, it can be instilled once a day or as advised by your doctor. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and ask them to explain any part you do not understand. Use Timogold Eye Drop in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor.
Can I stop Timogold Eye Drop if I am fine now?
No, you should not stop using Timogold Eye Drop without consulting your doctor. If you stop taking this medication suddenly, the pressure in your eyes may not be controlled, which could increase the risk of vision loss.
