Experiences with

Timolol

So, I am discontinuing them, and going back to Timolol. Has anyone else tried Laranoprost drops?

There are 2 generic Travaprost/Timolol drops available, so hopefully your pharmacy will still be able to offer you these alternatives. Any concerns you have, please discuss with your consultant who will be able to prescribe you an alternative eyedrop within this time.

Alternatively, your pharmacist may be able to give to Travaprost and timolol seperately. I know it may be inconvenient to do this but it is a possible option for you.

I currently take dorzolamide/timolol eyedrops 2 x daily plus monopost once at night. My eye pressure is still going up and so my consultant has now prescribed Iopidine 3 x daily. It’s clear to me that I need to take the monopost last of all just before bedtime.

Unfortunately my IOP (eye pressure) have started to increase so my Consultant has change my eye drops from Latanoprost (Monopost ) 1 drop daily to Dorzolamide/Timolol Cosopt 2 drops daily.

I'm hoping to try something like Monoprost to see whether I'm intolerant to the beta blocker timolol in the Fixapost.

I had been looking on various websites about possible drug reactions and discovered that as Timolol is a beta blocker, when taken with Amlodipine it could lower my BP even more, but as my dose is very low (2.5 mg) I cannot see it being a problem, unless I start falling over!

I think that I'm having a bad reaction to timolol? The hospital now want to put me on iopodine 1mg, but I'm not sure about that. They haven't discussed anything with me about any of this, just told me to go to the hospital and collect the prescription from them!

I have had glaucoma now for about 8-9 years, and using Latanoprost/timolol drops which is keeping my pressure at an aceptable level. I have got used to some staining below my eyes which I believe is a possible side effect.

Previously I was using Latanaprost only at night and Timolol only in the morning. I would generally use the Timolol around 8 am and the Latanaprost just before bed (usually around midnight).

Previously I was prescribed Timolol and Latanoprost on separate occasions, I had a bad reactions to both of them. Latanoprost was particularly bad ( shortness of breath, chest pain, tightness of throat), ended up calling ambulance. I'm now scared to try any other eye drops.

Dorzolomide with Timolol twice a day both eyes, Iopidine twice a day and Monopost twice a day, both eyes. We have both noticed side effects, mostly confusion, and communication issues, some memory loss. I’m sure this is because of the medication, but if he needs them, what can we do?

I have been on latanoprost drops for 2 years and they recently stopped working for me and I started to lose some vision, so I was put on timolol drops as well, which have helped stabilise my pressures now.

Travoprost, and Brinzolamide/Timolol Mylan. The side effects fact sheet is a pretty scary read etc, with particular emphasis on the heart. I would be interested if anyone has any experience of this treatment etc. Thanks.

I had tried "Timolol" before Latanoprost and experienced dizziness , so I stopped. I'm now so scared of using eye drops. I have read about SLT. Would it be an option?

I was prescribed Latanoprost (1 drop in both eyes at night) and Timolol (1 drop in right eye in the morning). I started taking these on 7 May.

I have two eye medications of Bimatoprost prescribed (in addition to Dorzolamide/Timolol). Left eye is Bimatoprost 300 mg/0.4ml preservative free and right eye is Bitamatoprost 100 mg/ml. What is the difference and why are they different?

I’ve been using these drops for about 15 years. The pharmacist regularly provides different brands. Sometimes they have difficulty obtaining the drops. This is the first time I have been given eylamdol brand and I’m finding it really difficult to drop into my eyes. I’ve read the leaflet and practiced

I've finished them now and she has prescribed Timolol drops for a short time to reduce pressures but I've had terrible heartburn since taking them, anyone else experience this?

I was wondering if it’s safe to take my timolol & monopost at bedtime thanks
