Timolol is prescribed to lower blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also used to reduce angina attacks (angina pectoris), and to stabilize irregular heartbeats (cardiac arrhythmias).

It is also used for prevention of migraine headaches and the treatment of certain types of tremors (familial or hereditary essential tremors).

This medicine is in a group of drugs called beta-blockers. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins). It works by relaxing your blood vessels so your heart doesn't have to pump as hard.
