Timoptic and Timolol Maleate at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Timoptic (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution), manufactured by Merck, is available in Canada, India (under the brand name Glucomol), and the United Kingdom (under the brand name Timoptol).

Generic timolol maleate ophthalmic solution is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution:

Generic timolol maleate ophthalmic solution contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Timoptic. It is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Timoptic. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name timolol maleate ophthalmic solutions, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about using generic timolol maleate ophthalmic solution.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/buying-using-medicine-safely/generic-drugs

Dosage:

Brand Timoptic and generic timolol maleate ophthalmic solution are commonly available in the strengths of 0.25% and 0.5%, often packed in 5 ml and 10 ml bottles.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and the condition being treated.

Usage:

Timoptic (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution) is a prescription medication for glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye). It is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye. Your doctor determines the dosage of timolol, which will depend on the condition being treated and your needs. It is crucial to follow your doctor's prescribed dosing regimen. (source: the product labeling information)

Mechanism of Action:
Timoptic (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution) reduces the production of aqueous humour, the fluid in the eye. Timolol maleate is a beta-blocker that blocks beta-adrenergic receptors in the eye's ciliary body, reducing the production of aqueous humour. This helps to lower intraocular pressure.

Use Timoptic exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the patient information leaflet. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
