User Reviews for timolol maleate ophthalmic

Was Prescribed this med and was fine for the first two weeks after that my eyes were always warm with and occasional pain. That was not the worst of the symptoms I had gotten severe headaches that I thought they were migraines but it was a reaction from the medication.

I have open angle glaucoma & since taking Timolol for a few years I have found my hair coming out & dizziness, I kept telling the eye consultant of this but don’t think they really take in what I am saying so I have now decided to stop the Timolol & stick to Latanoprost & I also take Ginkgo Bilbo’s 1 capsule with dinner to see if that helps. It’s trial & error.

Caused significant drop in blood pressure (worst reading was 102/53)resulting in extreme tiredness which is very unusual for me.

Taking it for migraines.Somewhat effective.Weakness is a side effect.

This drug caused my heart rate to drop 10 points.. thankful that I have monitored blood pressure and heart rate for years so the charting was helpful in relating this drop in heart rate to the eye drops..

After just 14 days on this eye drop combined with latanoprost, I constantly felt cold, tired, and wanted to cry. I was impotent. I had insomnia and sleep disrupted by anxious dreams. I started preferring being blind than living like this. My eye pressure did plunge 75% to single digits, but I was miserable. These side affects lessened and disappeared over 4 weeks following stopping the timolol.

It has brought the pressure down, but large red blotches are have begun to appear on my face that are physically noticeable and painful.

last two prescriptions of Timolol have had a different base ingredient which causes a sticky substance to deal with every a.m. my eyelashes are stuck together Very inconvenient, why the change??\

Timilol is applied at bedtime and very soon hardens ar the base of my lashes with glue-like consistency. I attempt to soften this cement with tissues and warm water, but by morning i have to separate my lashes with difficulty. Why cant they do something about it?

Drug is controlling my eye pressure Have noticed by hair is thinning - could this be a side affect?

SEEMS TO MAINTAIN PRESSURE

I have been taking this medication along with xalatan since 2004, when I was diagnosed at age 26. I have wondered from time to time if this medication has contributed to bouts of depression along with heart palpatation issues.

Have noticed problems with dizziness.

At first lowered pressure, then did not work as well. Drowsiness, lowered libido.

Redness of eyelids, crusting of eyelids

keeps preasure in eyes normal

In an annual eye exam, my eye doctor was concerned with the high eye pressure readings (30). She gave me the most current recommended drug to reduce eye pressure but they did not work. In addition my insurance costs would be $50 for every refill (30 days). I talked to my pharmacist and he recommended Timolo maleate as a generic option. Not only has this drug reduced my eye pressure by half (15), it also costs me nothing as a genric drug in my insurance coverage. Two wins for a drug I have to use the rest of my life to prevent blindness!Read More Read Less

Using the container has been trying. The container has a solid base which can not be squeezed. It is difficult to navigate the dropper to exactly the eye/bulge, but the drops do work with very little side effects.

This is the 3rd drop the dr has tried and this one seems to be helping a little. Easy to use and doesn't make me dizzy like the alphagan did.

My cat started on the med this am & 20 min after the eye drops she vomited x3. Is this common in cats? This is for my cat.
