Timolol is a nonselective beta-adrenergic antagonist given in an eye drop solution to reduce intraocular pressure, or pressure in the eyes. It is also used in tablet form as a drug to treat hypertension. Timolol was first approved by the FDA in 1978. This drug is marketed by several manufacturers and is an effective agent for the management of conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and hypertension.
Ophthalmic timolol is indicated for the treatment of increased intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma. The oral form of this drug is used to treat high blood pressure. In certain cases, timolol is used in the prevention of migraine headaches.
