Timolol

Timolol is a medication primarily used to lower pressure inside the eyes, helping to treat conditions like glaucoma, which can lead to vision loss if untreated. It works by blocking certain signals in the body that increase eye fluid production, thereby reducing pressure. Timolol can also be prescribed for preventing migraines or managing heart conditions such as high blood pressure and irregular heartbeats. It is typically applied as eye drops or taken orally, and should be used under medical guidance due to potential side effects and interactions.
