Benefits of Timo-5 Eye Drop
In Glaucoma
Timo-5 Eye Drop belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers. It is used to reduce pressure in the eyes (ocular hypertension). This pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma. If the pressure in your eye is too high, it can damage your sight. This medicine works by helping the fluid to flow from inside the eye into your bloodstream. It may be used alone or with other eye drops. Do not use it too often as that can make it less effective. You should only use it in the affected eye and take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. Most people with glaucoma or high pressure in the eyes do not feel sick. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled. This could lead to a loss of sight.

FAQs
What does Timo-5 Eye Drop do?

Timo-5 Eye Drop effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.
How should you use Timo-5 Eye Drop?
Timo-5 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).
