    The Pharmaceutical Company did not mention the long term side effects of Timoptic.  The ophthalmologist had to take me off the drug (after 15 years)  due to the many side effects that caused health issues (some permanent);  (severe migraines, severe sinitus, circulatory problems, lung problems, HBP).  I feel sorry for the elderly people who take the drug and not know that some of their health issues are related to the drug (not old age).
