Timolol is a beta blocker medication used either by mouth or as eye drops.[1][2] As eye drops it is used to treat increased pressure inside the eye such as in ocular hypertension and glaucoma.[1] By mouth it is used for high blood pressure, chest pain due to insufficient blood flow to the heart, to prevent further complications after a heart attack, and to prevent migraines.[2] Timolol is a non-selective beta blocker.
