Timolol GFS Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Timolol Maleate
Timolol GFS Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Timolol Maleate
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Timolol GFS 0.25% and 0.5% are indicated in the treatment of
elevated intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle
glaucoma.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Patients should be instructed to invert the closed container
and shake once before each use.It is not necessary to shake the container more
than once. Other topically applied ophthalmic medications should be administered
at least 10 minutes before Timolol GFS (See PRECAUTIONS,
Information for Patients).Timolol
GFS is available in concentrations of 0.25%,and 0.5%.The dose is one drop of
Timolol GFS (either 0.25% or 0.5%) in the affected eye(s) once daily. Because
in some patients the intraocular pressure-lowering response to Timolol GFS may
require a few weeks to stabilize, evaluation should include a determination
of intraocular pressure after approximately 4 weeks of treatment with Timolol
GFS. Dosages higher than one drop of 0.5% Timolol GFS once daily have not been
studied. If the patient’s intraocular pressure is still not at a satisfactory
level on this regimen, concomitant therapy can be considered. Other topically
applied ophthalmic medications should be administered at least 10 minutes before
Timolol GFS.(See PRECAUTIONS, Information
for Patients.)
