Timoptic Eye Drop Uses and Indications:
Timoptic eye drops belong to the class of medicines known as beta-blockers. They are used to treat increased pressure and glaucoma in the eye. This eye drops work by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye, thus helping to lower the pressure in the eye. This low pressure helps to prevent blindness. It may take 4 weeks or more before these eye drops could reduce the pressure in the eye.
Timoptic eye drops are easily available online from Canada Pharmacy at the best price.
