    timilol

    I have been diagnosed with glaucoma and need to take timilol eye drops ounce a day in the morning. It was recommended that I should stop breastfeeding. I would like a 2nd opinion please. Is it necessary to stop breastfeeding while taking this eye drop?

    pfisher, thanks for posting,

    Timilol is secreted into milk in low levels. No untoward effects have been reported on infants. These levels are probably too small to be clinically relevant. Relative infant dose is only 1.1%. Monitor the baby for drowsiness, lethargy, pallor, poor feeding and weight gain. I hope this helps, if you have any other questions please call the InfantRisk Center at 806-352-2519.
