T Lol 0.5% Eye Drop

Introduction

T Lol 0.5% Eye Drop is a medication that contains Timolol, a non-selective beta-blocker used primarily in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye, reducing intraocular pressure and preventing potential damage to the optic nerve, which could otherwise lead to vision loss.

How T Lol 0.5% Eye Drop Works

Timolol, the active ingredient in T Lol Eye Drop, works by blocking beta receptors in the eye. This action reduces the production of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye), leading to lower intraocular pressure. By controlling intraocular pressure, T Lol helps protect the optic nerve from damage that could result in vision loss due to glaucoma.
