Betimol vs. Timolol

Head-to-head comparisons of medication uses, side effects, warnings, and more.

Key takeaways

Timolol hemihydrate (Betimol) and timolol maleate are both eye drops that lower eye pressure to treat conditions such as ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma. They share the same active ingredient in slightly different chemical forms. But they work the same way and have similar dosages: 1 drop in the affected eye once or twice daily. Timolol maleate comes more dosage forms than timolol hemihydrate, such as an eye gel (Timoptic XE) and long-acting eye drop (Istalol). But timolol hemihydrate may cause less burning and stinging compared to other timolol products.
