Introduction
Timoblu Eye Drop is a beta blocker that helps reduce the risk of vision loss in people with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. It lowers the pressure in the eye by decreasing the production of fluid. Always wash your hands before using Timoblu Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you are also using other eye medicines, wait for at least 10 minutes before using them.
Directions for Use
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

How it works
Timoblu Eye Drop is a beta blocker that works by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.
Quick Tips
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Notify your doctor if you have lung or heart diseases as Timoblu Eye Drop may worsen these conditions. Make sure to use within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.

Frequently asked questions
What does Timoblu Eye Drop do?
Timoblu Eye Drop reduces intraocular pressure, which can help prevent damage to the optic nerve and maintain normal vision. Elevated intraocular pressure can gradually lead to blindness if not controlled. Timoblu Eye Drop effectively manages ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing eye pressure.
How should I use Timoblu Eye Drop?
Timoblu Eye Drop is usually instilled once or twice a day at evenly spaced intervals until intraocular pressure is controlled (approximately 4 weeks). After that, it can be instilled once daily or as prescribed by the doctor. Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully and consult them if you have any questions or require clarification.
Can I stop Timoblu Eye Drop if I am feeling fine now?
No, you should not discontinue Timoblu Eye Drop without consulting your doctor. Stopping the medication suddenly may cause uncontrolled intraocular pressure, increasing the risk of vision loss.
When should I seek a doctor's advice?
Contact your doctor immediately if you develop an eye infection, conjunctivitis, or eyelid reactions. You should also inform your doctor about any eye injuries or eye surgery. Discuss with your doctor whether to continue using Timoblu Eye Drop.
