This information is required by the pharmaceutical manufacturers who will supply the medication, so it is important to make sure this information is accurate and up to date.

We will review the information that you have provided to determine whether you are eligible for patient assistance. If we can pre-qualify you for assistance, NiceRx will handle the full enrollment process on your behalf. If you are approved by the pharmaceutical company, you will typically start receiving your medication in 6 – 8 weeks.

What is Timoptic?

Timoptic (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved eye medication manufactured by Santen UK Limited. Timolol eye drops may be used in combination with other drugs or on their own to treat increased intraocular pressure in the eye caused by open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (high eye pressure).

What doses of Timoptic are available?

Timoptic is available as an ophthalmic solution, in the following doses: 3.4mg in 1mL.

The recommended dose of Timoptic is one drop in the affected eye(s) once or twice a day, as directed by your doctor. Make sure you wash your hands before using the eye drops and do not allow the tip of the dropper to touch your eye or any other surface. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Use your next dose at the regular time.
