How does timolol ophthalmic work (mechanism of action)? High pressure inside the eye can lead to nerve damage and vision loss. Timolol ophthalmic helps to lower pressure inside the eye. It works by reducing the amount of fluid in your eye. ...
Mechanism Of Action Timolol maleate is a beta1 and beta2 (non-selective) adrenergic receptor blocking agent that does not have significant intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant, or local anesthetic (membrane-stabilizing) activity. ...
The main mechanism of action of the β-blockers is to decrease aqueous humor flow,8 resulting in lowering IOP. Although the primary IOP-lowering effects of timolol do not operate on trabecular outflow,9β-adrenergic receptors are present on trabecular meshwork cells.10-12 Long-term use of ...
Mechanism Of Action COSOPT is comprised of two components: dorzolamide hydrochloride and timolol maleate. Each of these two components decreases elevated intraocular pressure, whether or not associated with glaucoma, by reducingaqueous humorsecretion. Elevated intraocular pressure is a majorrisk factorin ...
12.1 Mechanism of Action Timolol maleate is a beta1and beta2(non-selective) adrenergic receptor blocking agent that does not have significant intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant, or local anesthetic (membrane-stabilizing) activity. ...
This finding may reflect differences in the mechanisms of action of the individual agents.41 Both timolol and dorzolamide lower the rate of aqueous humour formation affecting the inflow pathway, whereas latanoprost facilitates the outflow pathways. In general, both treatments were well tolerated and ...

Timololis a nonselective β-blocker which has no local anaesthetic, membrane stabilising or sympathomimetic properties. However, the precise mechanism by which timolol lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) is not known. Timolol lowers IOP by inhibiting aqueous humour production rather than by increasing out...
Discussion In glaucoma patients, achieving a healthy IOP by mono- therapy is the most desirable outcome, however, many patients need second-line antiglaucoma eye drops in order to combine different mechanisms of action. Second-line therapies are not uniform and various kinds of antiglau- coma ...
of beta(2) receptors by timolol in the blood vessels leads to a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, reducing blood pressure.The exact mechanism by which timolol reduces ocular pressure is unknown at this time, however, it likely decreases the secretion of aqueous humor in the eye. Accord...
