OVERDOSE
There have been reports of inadvertent overdosage with ISTALOL (timolol maleate ophthalmic solution) ophthalmic solution resulting in systemic effects similar to those seen with systemic beta-adrenergic blocking agents such as dizziness, headache, shortness of breath, bradycardia, bronchospasm, and cardiac arrest (see also ADVERSE REACTIONS).
An in vitro hemodialysis study, using 14C timolol added to human plasma or whole blood, showed that timo-lol was readily dialyzed from these fluids; however, a study of patients with renal failure showed that timolol did not dialyze readily.
