IOTIM PLUS is a fixed-dose combination eye drop medication containing Timolol and Pilocarpine. Timolol is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the production of fluid in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. Pilocarpine, on the other hand, is a cholinergic agonist that increases the drainage of fluid from the eye, further lowering intraocular pressure. This combination medication is used to treat glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure within the eye that can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss. IOTIM PLUS helps to manage and control intraocular pressure, reducing the risk of glaucoma progression and preserving vision.
