Timorex-D (2/0.5%) 5ml Eye Drops

Timorex-D Eye Drops contain Timolol 2% and Dorzolamide 0.5%, a combination medication used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Timolol is a beta-blocker that reduces aqueous humor production, while Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that further decreases fluid buildup in the eye. Together, they help prevent damage to the optic nerve and reduce the risk of vision loss.
