Travoprost + Timolol Maleate

Generic Medicine
Indications

This preparation, a sterile ophthalmic solution, is used to decrease intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues.

Pharmacology

Travoprost and Timolol reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) by complementary mechanisms of action. Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue which reduces IOP by increasing trabecular outflow and uveoscleral outflow. Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker that does not have significant intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant, or local anesthetic (membrane stabilizing) activity. It lowers IOP by decreasing the formation of aqueous humor in the ciliary epithelium.

Dosage Administration

Use in adults: The dose is one drop of Travast Plus in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily, in the morning or evening. It should be administered at the same time each day.

Paediatric patients: The efficacy and safety of Travast Plus in patients below the age of 18 years have not been established.

Interactions

No specific interaction was observed with Travast Plus eye drops.

Contraindications

Contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to Travoprost, Timolol, or any of the components of this preparation.

Side Effects

No serious ophthalmic or systemic undesirable effects related to Travast Plus were reported. The most frequently reported treatment-related undesirable effect was ocular hyperemia.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Precautions & Warnings

Like other topically applied ophthalmic agents, Travoprost and Timolol are absorbed systemically. Due to the beta-adrenergic component, timolol, the same types of cardiovascular and pulmonary adverse reactions as seen with systemic beta-adrenergic blocking agents may occur.

Overdose Effects
