Aristomol GFS Eye Drop 0.50% contains Timolol Maleate, a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Elevated pressure inside the eye can gradually damage the optic nerve, leading to vision loss if left untreated. Aristomol GFS Eye Drop helps lower this pressure and reduce the risk of glaucoma-related vision impairment.

The GFS (Gel Forming Solution) formulation forms a soft gel upon contact with the eye, allowing the medication to remain on the ocular surface for a longer period. This enhances drug contact time, provides sustained therapeutic effects, and may reduce the frequency of administration compared to conventional eye drops.

Composition

• Timolol Maleate 0.50%

Dosage Form: Gel Forming Ophthalmic Solution (Eye Drop)

How Aristomol GFS Eye Drop Works

Timolol Maleate is a non-selective beta-blocker that lowers intraocular pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor, the fluid inside the eye.

This action helps to:

• Decrease intraocular pressure
• Protect the optic nerve from pressure-related damage
• Slow the progression of glaucoma
• Preserve vision in patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma

The gel-forming formulation prolongs the contact of the medicine with the eye, allowing effective and sustained pressure control.

Indications

Aristomol GFS Eye Drop 0.50% is indicated for:

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension (elevated intraocular pressure)
• Long-term management of increased eye pressure
• Prevention of glaucoma-related optic nerve damage

Benefits of Aristomol GFS Eye Drop

• Effectively lowers intraocular pressure
• Helps protect the optic nerve and preserve vision
• Gel-forming formulation provides prolonged drug contact
• May require less frequent dosing than conventional eye drops
• Suitable for long-term glaucoma management under medical supervision
• Well-established treatment for ocular hypertension

Dosage and Administration

Use Aristomol GFS Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist.

General instructions include:

• Wash your hands before use.
• Tilt your head back and instill the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s).
• Close your eyes gently for 1–2 minutes after application.
• Apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of the eye (nasolacrimal occlusion) for about one minute to reduce systemic absorption.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any surface.
• If using other ophthalmic medications, allow at least 5–10 minutes between applications.

Possible Side Effects

Aristomol GFS Eye Drop is generally well tolerated. Some patients may experience:

• Temporary burning or stinging
• Blurred vision immediately after instillation
• Dry eyes
• Eye irritation or redness
• Watery eyes

Because Timolol can be absorbed into the bloodstream, less common systemic side effects may include:

• Slow heart rate (bradycardia)
• Low blood pressure
• Fatigue
• Shortness of breath, especially in susceptible individuals

Seek immediate medical attention if severe breathing difficulty, chest pain, or allergic reactions occur.

• Diabetes (Timolol may mask symptoms of low blood sugar)
• Thyroid disorders
• Liver or kidney disease

Additional precautions:

• For ophthalmic use only.
• Remove contact lenses before instillation and reinsert them after at least 15 minutes, or as advised by your eye specialist.
• Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your ophthalmologist, as increased eye pressure may recur.
• Regular eye examinations and intraocular pressure monitoring are recommended during treatment.

Storage

• Store below 30°C.
• Protect from direct sunlight.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
