Timolol + Oxychloro Complex

Introduction

Timolol + Oxychloro Complex is a combination medication commonly used in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma. Timolol is a beta-blocker that helps reduce the production of fluid inside the eye, thereby lowering eye pressure. Oxychloro Complex acts as a preservative with antimicrobial properties to maintain the sterility of the ophthalmic solution. This combination is typically used in the form of eye drops and provides effective and safe management of certain eye conditions when used under medical guidance.

Uses of Timolol + Oxychloro Complex

• Used to treat open-angle glaucoma

How Timolol + Oxychloro Complex works

Timolol reduces intraocular pressure by decreasing the formation of aqueous humor in the eye. Oxychloro Complex serves as a preservative with antimicrobial activity that breaks down into water, oxygen, and salt upon contact with the eye, minimizing irritation while keeping the solution sterile.
