Timol P Eye Drop

Timol P Eye Drop is a medication used to treat elevated intraocular pressure in conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It contains timolol and phenylephrine as active ingredients. Timolol is a beta-blocker that reduces the production of fluid in the eye, while phenylephrine is a sympathomimetic that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the eye to reduce pressure. This combination helps in managing eye pressure, preventing damage to the optic nerve.

Uses of Timol P Eye Drop

Phenylephrine, on the other hand, constricts the blood vessels in the eye, further helping in lowering the intraocular pressure. This dual action reduces the risk of optic nerve damage caused by high eye pressure.
