Uses of Meditim Eye Drop 0.5% 5ml

Meditim Eye Drop 0.5% 5ml eye drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Controlling eye pressure protects the optic nerve and helps prevent gradual, irreversible loss of side vision. It can be used alone or together with other glaucoma drops, and is also found in several combination products.

How Meditim Eye Drop 0.5% 5ml works

Timolol is a beta-blocker. In the eye, it reduces the amount of fluid (aqueous humour) produced by the ciliary body, which lowers the pressure inside the eye. A small amount can be absorbed into the bloodstream, which explains effects on the heart and lungs.

Possible side effects

Most people use Meditim Eye Drop 0.5% 5ml without major problems. Common effects include:

• Stinging or burning
• Dry eyes
• Eye redness or irritation
• Blurred vision
• Headache

See a doctor promptly for wheezing or breathlessness, a slow heartbeat, dizziness or fainting.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it every day at the same time; glaucoma usually has no symptoms but damages sight if untreated.
• Press on the inner corner of the eye for a minute after use to reduce absorption into the body.
• Keep regular eye pressure checks.
• It is not suitable for people with asthma or severe COPD, and you should tell your doctor about a slow heartbeat, heart block or heart failure.
• Let your doctor know if you have diabetes or take beta-blocker tablets, as the effects can add together.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
