Effectiveness
How Timoptic In Ocudose Affects PatientsTimolol is used to reduce pressure in the eye when given as an ophthalmic dose, and can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output when taken as a tablet. Its effects start to take place within 20 minutes of administration, and can last up to 24 hours with the 0.5% or 0.25% dose.
How Timoptic In Ocudose works in the bodyTimolol works by blocking the action of certain chemicals in your body, such as adrenaline. Blocking these chemicals helps to reduce your heart rate and blood pressure. Timolol also reduces pressure in the eyes, though the exact mechanism is currently unknown. It may do this by reducing the blood supply to the ciliary body, or interfering with the production of prostaglandins.

Timoptic In Ocudose Toxicity & Overdose RiskThe lowest toxic dose of timolol maleate in rats is 1028mg/kg and 1137mg/kg in mice. Signs of a timolol overdose may include dizziness, headache, difficulty breathing, and a slow heart rate. In the worst cases, a timolol overdose can cause cardiac arrest. Dialysis is a possible treatment for reversing the effects of an overdose, though it is not as effective for those with kidney failure.
