Problems with high pressure inside the eye can cause a number of other difficulties, including blindness. Some of these issues which cause high pressure include ocular hypertension and open angle glaucoma. A beta blocker such as Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol) may be prescribed in order to reduce the pressure and avoid additional problems. Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol) work by removing some of the fluid from the eye and helping to drop the pressure in that eye. If your doctor has given you a prescription for this medication, you can save money when you order cheap Timoptic XE Eye Drops online from Canada. You can also buy cheap Timolol and save even further, as it is the generic equivalent.
You will receive instructions on how you should use Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol) that are included with each prescription. Your doctor may give you additional instructions which would supersede any written instructions that you receive. More than likely, you will be applying this medication as a single drop in the eye that is affected one time per day. If you are using any other medication, it is important to leave a minimum of 10 minutes between using Timoptic XE Eye Drops and the other medication.
Before you use Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol), turn it upside down and shake it one time. Remove your contact lenses if you are wearing them (do not reinsert for 15 minutes) and form a small pocket by pulling down on your lower eyelid. Insert the Timoptic XE Eye Drops gel in this pocket and then gently close your eye for a couple of minutes. Do not rub the eye during this time.
Make sure that your doctor is aware of your medical condition before he prescribes Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol). You may not be able to use Timoptic XE Eye Drops if you have problems such as severe asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Irregular heartbeats may also stop you from using this medication. If you have kidney, liver or thyroid disease or if you are suffering from diabetes, you may be able to use Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol) but your doctor may want to watch you more closely or perhaps run additional tests.
Since there are some other medications which can interact negatively with Timoptic XE Eye Drops (Timolol), it is important to make sure that your doctor is aware of any other medicine that you are currently taking. This would especially include other beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, antidepressants and diabetes medications. He will be able to determine if you can use Timoptic XE Eye Drops safely.
