Uses

How it Works

Timolol does this by blocking tiny areas which are called beta-adrenergic receptors, where the messages are received by the heart. As a result, the heart beats more slowly and with less force, This then allows the pressure of blood within the blood vessels to be reduced. Timolol also works by lowering the pressure in the eyes, thereby preventing gradual loss of vision.
