Timolol side effects and inadvertent overdosing.

L P Hayes1, C J Stewart, I Kim, J A Mohr.   

Abstract

The case reports demonstrate that significant and potentially dangerous side effects from timolol maleate occur as a result of inadvertent overdosing. Because many glaucoma patients are elderly and vision is frequently impaired, overdosing may be the mechanism of side effects in many patients especially the elderly. A simple dropper that would withdraw only one drop and deliver the same would resolve this problem.
