This product is a prescription eye drop solution that combines two active ingredients: travoprost and timolol.
Travoprost is a prostaglandin analog that helps to increase the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure (IOP).
Timolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that decreases the production of aqueous humor.
It is primarily used in the management of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Benefits:
-Effectively lowers intraocular pressure, which can help prevent damage to the optic nerve and vision loss associated with glaucoma.
-Dual mechanism of action (increased outflow and decreased production) provides enhanced efficacy compared to monotherapy.
-Convenient dosing regimen, typically administered once daily.
Precautions:
-Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any history of respiratory issues (e.g., asthma, COPD), heart conditions, or diabetes before using DUOTRAV.
-Caution is advised in patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding; consult a healthcare professional for guidance.
-Avoid contact with soft contact lenses; it is recommended to remove lenses prior to application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
-Monitor for signs of allergic reactions or worsening eye conditions.
Side Effects:
-Common side effects may include ocular hyperemia (redness), eye irritation, blurred vision, and changes in eyelash growth (thicker or longer eyelashes).
-Systemic side effects can occur due to absorption; these may include fatigue, dizziness, bradycardia (slow heart rate), and hypotension (low blood pressure).
-Serious side effects are rare but can include severe allergic reactions or respiratory distress.
Main Ingredients and Their Benefits:
-Travoprost is a prostaglandin analog that works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
-Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist that decreases aqueous humor production, which also contributes to lowering intraocular pressure in individuals suffering from glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
