Additional Information

Pharmacological Effects: Tіmolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist that works by reducing the production of aqueous humor in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. This mechanism helps in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Clinical Trials: A study published in the Journal of Ophthalmology compared the effectiveness of tіmolol eye drops with other glaucoma medications and found tіmolol to be equally effective in reducing intraocular pressure with a favorable side effect profile.
