Pilocarpine-Timolol 0.2%-0.5% Uses
Pilocarpine-Timolol 0.2%-0.5% Eye Drops are prescribed to:
- Treat open-angle glaucoma by lowering intraocular pressure.

How Does Pilocarpine-Timolol 0.2%-0.5% Work

- Timolol: Reduces the production of aqueous humor, further decreasing intraocular pressure.
The combination targets different mechanisms to provide enhanced pressure control.
