Timolol eye drops are a medication used to treat elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Here’s some information about Timolol eye drops:

Active Ingredient: Timolol is a beta-blocker medication that works by reducing the production of aqueous humor, the fluid inside the eye. By decreasing the production of aqueous humor, Timolol helps lower intraocular pressure.

Mechanism of Action: Timolol works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body of the eye. These receptors are involved in the regulation of aqueous humor production. By blocking these receptors, Timolol reduces the secretion of aqueous humor into the eye, which helps decrease intraocular pressure.
