Ivytimol 0.5% Timolol Glaucoma Eye Drops - 10ml Bottle
High fluid pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) slowly damages fragile optic nerve fibers, leading to irreversible peripheral vision loss if left untreated. Ivytimol 0.5% Eye Drops provide a cornerstone anti-glaucoma treatment. Powered by Timolol Maleate, a beta-blocker, it directly reduces the formation of aqueous humor fluid within the eye, reliably lowering intraocular pressure to preserve long-term sight.
How to Use / Operate
Instill 1 drop into the affected eye(s) twice daily (morning and evening). Press gently on the inner corner of the eye (lacrimal sac) for 1 minute after instillation to reduce systemic absorption into the bloodstream.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ivytimol used for?
It is a prescription eye drop used to lower high intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Can I use this if I wear contact lenses?
Remove soft contact lenses before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Important Clinical Considerations
Strictly contraindicated in patients with bronchial asthma, severe COPD, or sinus bradycardia, as systemic absorption through the eye can trigger life-threatening bronchospasms or severe heart rate drops. Use strictly under ophthalmologist care.
