Most important fact about Timoptic
Although Timoptic eyedrops are applied only to the eye, the medication is absorbed and may have effects in other parts of the body. If you have diabetes, asthma, or other respiratory disease, or decreased heart function, make sure your doctor is aware of the problem.
How should you use Timoptic?
Timoptic should be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you are using Timoptic in Ocudose, use the medication as soon as you open the individual unit and throw out any leftover solution. If you are using Timoptic-XE, invert the closed container and shake it once—and only once—before each use. If you need to use other eye medications along with Timoptic, use them at least 10 minutes before you instill Timoptic. Allow 5 minutes with Betimol. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Timoptic and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them. Handle the Timoptic solution carefully to avoid contamination. Do not let the tip of the dispenser actually touch the eye. Do not enlarge the hole in the dispenser tip; it is designed to provide just 1 drop. Do not wash the dispenser tip with water, soap, or any other cleaner. To administer Timoptic, follow these steps:
Wash your hands thoroughly. Tilt your head back and gently pull your lower eyelid down to form a pocket. Turn the bottle upside down, holding it with your thumb or index finger over the Finger Push Area. Press the bottle lightly until a single drop falls into the eye. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the other eye if necessary.
Replace the cap firmly.
