Quick Tips

Timopress 0.5% helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss.
Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the drop.
Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
Notify your doctor if you have lung or heart diseases as Timopress 0.5% may worsen these conditions.
