Timolol Maleate Eye Drops

Function and Efficacy

Pharmacological action: Timolol maleate is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker with no obvious endogenous sympathomimetic activity and local anesthetic effect, and no direct inhibitory effect on the myocardium. This product is timolol maleate eye drops, which can reduce intraocular pressure in patients with high intraocular pressure and normal people. The exact mechanism of reducing intraocular pressure is still unclear. Intraocular pressure recording and aqueous humor fluorescence photometry studies suggest that the intraocular pressure-lowering effect of this product is related to reducing aqueous humor production.

Ingredients

The main ingredients of this product and their chemical names are: The main ingredient is timolol maleate, and its chemical name is: (-)-1-(tert-butylamino)-3-[(4-morpholinyl-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)oxy]-2-propanol maleate.

Appearance

This product is a colorless clear liquid.

Indication

It has a good effect of reducing intraocular pressure in primary open-angle glaucoma. For some secondary glaucoma, ocular hypertension, some primary angle-closure glaucoma and other glaucoma that are ineffective with other drugs and surgery, the addition of this product to the eye drops can further enhance the effect of reducing intraocular pressure.

Usage and Dosage

Eye drops, 1 drop at a time, 1 to 2 times a day. If the intraocular pressure is under control, it can be changed to once a day. If other drugs are used, when switching to this product for treatment, the original drug should not be stopped suddenly. It should be gradually stopped from the second day of using this product.

Adverse Reactions

1. The most common adverse reactions are burning and stinging of the eyes. 2. Cardiovascular system: bradycardia, arrhythmia. 3. Nervous system: dizziness, aggravation of myasthenia gravis symptoms, paresthesia, drowsiness, insomnia, nightmares, depression, mental confusion, hallucinations. 4. Respiratory system: bronchospasm, respiratory failure, dyspnea, nasal congestion, cough, upper respiratory tract infection. 5. Endocrine system: masking the symptoms of hypoglycemia in diabetic patients after taking insulin or hypoglycemic drugs.

Precautions

1. Patients with bronchial asthma or a history of bronchial asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 2. Sinus bradycardia, Ⅱ or Ⅲ degree atrioventricular block, obvious heart failure, cardiogenic shock. 3. Patients who are allergic to this product.

Drug Interactions

1. Combined use with adrenaline can cause pupil dilation. 2. It is not recommended to use two local beta-receptor blockers at the same time. 3. This product should be used with caution in combination with calcium channel antagonists, as it can cause atrioventricular conduction block, left ventricular failure and hypotension. For patients with impaired cardiac function, the two drugs should be avoided in combination. 4. Patients who are taking catecholamine-depleting drugs (such as reserpine) should be closely observed when using this product, as it can cause hypotension and significant bradycardia. 5. This product can further prolong atrioventricular conduction time when used in combination with digitalis and calcium channel antagonists. 6. This product can cause side effects of systemic beta-receptor blockade such as slowing of heart rate when used in combination with quinidine. The possible reason is that quinidine can inhibit the metabolism of timolol by P450 enzymes and CYPZD6.

Storage

Keep away from light and store in a sealed container.
