Timomed Timolol 0.5% Eye Drops (10ml)
Timomed Eye Drops is a sterile ophthalmic solution used to manage conditions caused by high pressure inside the eye. It contains Timolol Maleate (0.5%), which belongs to a group of medicines called beta-blockers.
In Nigeria, Timomed is widely prescribed for patients dealing with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing the amount of fluid produced in the eye, it helps lower the intraocular pressure, preventing potential damage to your vision.
