Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Timolol Maleate 10 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. This medication is a combination of two active ingredients, timolol maleate and hydrochlorothiazide, which work synergistically to reduce blood pressure levels.

Timolol maleate is a beta-blocker that functions by blocking certain hormones in the body that can cause blood vessels to constrict. On the other hand, hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that aids the body in eliminating excess salt and water. The combined effect of these two medications can help lower blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.

This formulation is a potent treatment for hypertension and can be used in conjunction with other medications to further reduce blood pressure. However, it is crucial to note that this medication should not be used in patients with certain medical conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, or heart failure. Patients should also be aware of the potential side effects of this medication, which may include dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Timolol Maleate 10 mg/Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg Capsules are a compounded formulation designed to manage high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. This combination medication contains two active ingredients: timolol maleate, a beta-blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. Timolol maleate functions by inhibiting the effects of certain natural substances, such as epinephrine, on the heart and blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, increases the amount of salt and water that the kidneys eliminate from the blood, which also contributes to a decrease in blood pressure.

The medication is encapsulated within two gelatin or vegetarian shells, which not only make it easier to swallow but also ensure a precise dosage of the active ingredients. The capsules are taken orally, typically once or twice a day, as directed by a healthcare professional. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosage and not to take more or less of the medication than recommended. To minimize the risk of stomach upset, it is advised to take this medication with food or milk.

Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is essential while on this medication. In addition to medication, your doctor may suggest lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, increasing physical activity, and quitting smoking to further help in managing your blood pressure.
