Timogen Eye Drops 5 ML

Timogen Eye Drops 5 ML interact with the following medicines:

• Prostaglandin analogues: Concurrent use with prostaglandin analogues like latanoprost can alter the intraocular pressure-lowering effects.

• Alpha agonists: Combining timolol with alpha agonists like brimonidine can lead to an additive effect on lowering intraocular pressure, which might necessitate dosage adjustments.

• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: When used with other topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitors such as dorzolamide, there may be an additive effect in reducing intraocular pressure.

• Miotics: Using timolol with miotics like pilocarpine can enhance the intraocular pressure-lowering effect.

• Topical steroids: Long-term use of topical steroids such as prednisolone with timolol can reduce the efficacy of timolol in lowering intraocular pressure.

No specific food interactions have been identified with Timogen Eye Drops 5 ML.

Timogen Eye Drops 5 ML interacts with the following diseases:

• Diabetes: Timolol can mask the symptoms of hypoglycaemia, such as rapid heartbeat, making it harder to recognize low blood sugar levels. Diabetic patients should monitor their blood glucose levels closely.

• Hyperthyroidism: Timolol can mask the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as a rapid heart rate, potentially delaying diagnosis and treatment. Patients with hyperthyroidism should be monitored for thyroid function.

• Myasthenia Gravis: Timolol may exacerbate muscle weakness in patients with myasthenia gravis, leading to increased symptoms. Close monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential.
