TIMOLOL

Timolol Information

Timolol is a medicine that has become highly common among both physicians and pharmacists in the last few decades. As it is one of the most effective beta-blockers on the market, the intake of this medication is known to block the patient’s beta receptors (especially the receptors that are found in the patient’s lungs, heart and other body organs). The effective blocking of these beta receptors is able to stop the action of two chemicals that are normally produced by the patient’s organism (adrenaline and nor-adrenaline). These two chemicals have been called the 'fight or flight' substances, as they are known to play an important part in the organism’s natural response to a less or more stressful condition / situations. If the heart’s beta receptors are blocked, it starts beating less fats, and with a lower force. This means, that less energy is being used by the heart (this is very helpful for patients who are suffering from angina, as this prevents the normal pain that comes with a crisis). Because the heart has changed its beating rhythm and beating strength, this also affects the average blood pressure: It is a known fact that patients who have been treated with Timolol and other beta-blockers have reduced their levels of blood pressure. Some patients suffering from migraines have also found a therapy with this medicine very helpful.
