Benzalkonium Chloride + Bimatoprost + Timolol

Uses of Benzalkonium Chloride + Bimatoprost + Timolol

  • Benzalkonium Chloride + Bimatoprost + Timolol is primarily used to manage elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This combination is part of the group of antiglaucoma medications which help preserve vision by reducing intraocular pressure.

  • It may also be used in other eye conditions where reduction of eye pressure is beneficial.

Side effects of Benzalkonium Chloride + Bimatoprost + Timolol

  • Eye redness or irritation

  • Dryness or watering of the eyes

  • Blurred vision

  • A burning or stinging sensation in the eye

  • Darkening of the eyelids or eyelashes

How Benzalkonium Chloride + Bimatoprost + Timolol works

  • Benzalkonium Chloride + Bimatoprost + Timolol belongs to the category of ophthalmic medications for managing intraocular pressure.

  • Benzalkonium Chloride is an antimicrobial preservative. It protects the eye drops from bacterial contamination, ensuring their sterility for safe use.

  • Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour (a fluid in the eye) which helps to lower the pressure inside the eye.

  • Timolol is a beta-blocker. It reduces the production of aqueous humour inside the eye, further decreasing intraocular pressure.
