Timolide


Generic Name: Hydrochlorothiazide/Timolol (hye-droe-klor-oh-THYE-a-zide/TIM-oh-lole)
Brand Name: Timolide

Do not suddenly stop taking Timolide . Sharp chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and sometimes heart attack may occur if you suddenly stop Timolide . The risk may be greater if you have certain types of heart disease. Your doctor should slowly lower your dose over several weeks if you need to stop taking it. This should be done even if you only take Timolide for high blood pressure. Heart disease is common and you may not know you have it. Limit physical activity while you are lowering your dose. If new or worsened chest pain or other heart problems occur, contact your doctor right away. You may need to start taking Timolide again.


Timolide is used for:

Treating high blood pressure.

Timolide is a beta-blocker and diuretic combination. It works by decreasing the force and slowing down the heartbeat, helping the heart beat more regularly and reducing the amount of work the heart has to do. It also increases the elimination of excessive fluid, which helps to decrease blood pressure.

Do NOT use Timolide if:

  • you are allergic to any ingredient in Timolide or to sulfonamide medicines (eg, sulfamethoxazole, probenecid, glyburide)
  • you have uncontrolled heart failure, heart block, heart shock, a very slow heart rate, or low blood pressure
  • you are unable to urinate or have a history of asthma or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • you are taking other beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), dofetilide, or mibefradil

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
