Iotim Eye Drops

Product Overview

Iotim Eye Drops is a medication containing the active ingredient Timolol. It is formulated as eye drops with a concentration of 0.5% w/v. Timolol is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the production of aqueous humor, the fluid in the eye. By decreasing intraocular pressure, Iotim Eye Drops help manage conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Uses

Iotim Eye Drops are primarily used to treat glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye that can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss. Additionally, they are prescribed for ocular hypertension, where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal but without any signs of optic nerve damage. By lowering intraocular pressure, Iotim Eye Drops help prevent further damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision.

How to Use

To use Iotim Eye Drops, wash your hands thoroughly. Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper directly over the eye and instill the prescribed number of drops as directed by your healthcare provider. Close your eyes gently for a few minutes to allow the medication to spread evenly. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

How it Works

The active ingredient in Iotim Eye Drops, Timolol, belongs to a class of medications known as beta-blockers. It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors in the eye, which reduces the production of aqueous humor, the fluid that fills the anterior chamber of the eye. By decreasing the amount of fluid produced, Timolol helps lower intraocular pressure, which is beneficial in treating glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Dosage and Administration

The typical dosage of Iotim Eye Drops is one drop in the affected eye(s) once or twice daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions provided and not exceed the recommended frequency or duration of use. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before instilling the eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Warnings
