Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface, as it may lead to contamination.
  • Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the drug affects your vision.
  • If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Timolol Maleate Ocudose. You can reinsert them 15 minutes after the application.
  • If using other topical eye medications, wait at least 10 minutes before applying other products.
  • Avoid abrupt discontinuation as it can exacerbate heart and blood pressure conditions.
  • Monitor blood sugar levels closely if you have diabetes; beta-blockers can mask the symptoms of low blood sugar.
  • Report any signs of eye inflammation or infection to your doctor immediately.
  • Do not use other eye medications unless your doctor approves.

Side Effects of Timolol Maleate

Common Side Effects

  • Some people may experience stinging or a burning sensation in the eye, blurry vision, or a headache.
  • Bitter or unusual taste in the mouth
  • Fatigue or weakness

Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Rare side effects:
  • Serious heart problems, such as a slow heart rate (bradycardia), heart palpitations, or even heart failure.
  • Bronchospasm or difficulty breathing
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
  • Depression, hallucinations, cognitive impairment
  • Severe side effects:
  • Eye pain/swelling/discharge, vision changes, redness, and swelling of the eyelids are severe ocular side effects.

Risks and Warnings of Timolol Maleate

  • Individuals with active or history of respiratory issues like asthma or severe COPD should avoid Timolol Maleate Ocudose because it can cause bronchospasm.
  • Caution should be observed when used by individuals who have bradycardia, AV block, or severe heart failure. This is because Timolol Maleate Ocudose can further suppress the heart rate, worsening heart failure, and block the signals that coordinate the heart's rhythmic beating.
  • Due to its systemic absorption, Timolol Maleate Ocudose can affect blood sugar levels. Patients with diabetes should keep a close eye on their blood glucose levels.
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to Timolol Maleate Ocudose or any other component of the formulation must avoid the medication.
  • As with any medication, the risks and benefits should be discussed with your doctor. In general, the benefit of lowering intraocular pressure and preventing glaucoma progression outweighs the potential risks for most patients.
