Safely Buy Timolol ( Timolol Maleate ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Timolol is an antihypertensive medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). This medication is also used after a heart attack to decrease the risk of death or of having another heart attack. Some may also use Timolol to prevent migraine headaches.

Timolol Maleate is a beta blocker drug that inhibits interactions between endogenous catecholamines which lead to vasoconstriction and elevated blood pressure. Thanks to its non-selective beta blocking, Timolol helps lower and manage blood pressure levels. The effects on beta-adrenergic receptors may also decrease the effects of norepinephrine in your brain which can help prevent migraines.

This antihypertensive medication is an effective treatment for high blood pressure and preventative method for migraine headaches. Timolol has a low incidence of side effects usually caused by its inhibitory actions and is generally well-tolerated.
