Timolol is a non-selective, beta adrenoceptor antagonist at beta-1 and beta-2 adrenoceptors. It lacks the partial agonist and local anesthetic properties that some drugs in this class have. It is most commonly used to treat glaucoma and cardiovascular diseases. Timolol is moderately lipophilic. Absorption of timolol after topical application to the eye is significant and can produce systemic side effects.
