Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Timoptic-XE is an eye drop medicine used to treat glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if not managed properly. It contains Timolol Maleate, which is a type of medicine known as a beta-blocker. Timoptic-XE helps lower pressure inside the eye, which is important because high eye pressure can harm the optic nerve. Timoptic-XE works by reducing the amount of fluid produced in the eye, helping to keep the pressure at a safe level and protecting eyesight.
To use this medication safely, wash your hands before applying the drops and make sure not to touch the tip of the bottle to avoid contamination. Usually, the Timoptic-XE dosage involves putting one drop in the affected eye(s) once a day. When using it, hold the bottle upside down and shake it once to mix the medicine well. After putting in the drop, close your eyes for a moment to help the medicine work better and reduce any drainage that could wash it away.
If you wear contact lenses, take them out before using Timoptic-XE and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. Always follow your doctor’s instructions about how much to use, and check with them before changing how you take the medicine.
The active ingredient in Timoptic-XE is Timolol Maleate.
Avoid using Timoptic-XE if any of the following apply:
When using Timoptic-XE, you might experience blurred vision right after applying the drops, which occurs in about one out of three people and usually lasts for 30 seconds to 5 minutes. Some users may also feel burning or stinging. Other less common side effects include eye discomfort, redness, itching, tearing, discharge, and a feeling like there’s something in your eye, as well as general symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and upper respiratory infections.
Timoptic-XE may cause your heart to beat slower (bradycardia), lower your blood pressure (hypotension), or lead to respiratory problems like wheezing, especially if you have existing breathing problems. In rare cases, some people have reported feelings of depression or confusion. Serious allergic reactions, like swelling or difficulty breathing, can also occur. If you notice severe allergies, changes in your heart rate, or worsening breathing problems, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
