Effects vary by individual and underlying condition.

What precautions apply to Timolol Maleate?

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including the eye, to reduce infection risk. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Inform your doctor about any eye infections or allergies before use.

What does Timolol Maleate interact with?

Timolol Maleate may interact with other eye medications, especially those containing prostaglandins or beta-blockers.
