It is primarily used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Benefits:
-Reduces intraocular pressure, thereby helping to prevent damage to the optic nerve and vision loss.
-Typically effective within 2 hours of administration, with peak effects occurring around 12 hours post-dose.

Precautions:
-Use with caution in patients with a history of macular edema or uveitis.

-Serious side effects can include:
-Allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling
-Changes in vision
-Severe eye pain
Main Ingredients and Their Benefits:
-Travoprost is a prostaglandin analog that lowers intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, making it effective in the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
-Polyquaternium-1 acts as a preservative and stabilizer in eye drops, providing antimicrobial properties that help maintain the sterility of the solution while also enhancing comfort during application.
-Polyoxyethylene serves as a surfactant and solubilizing agent, improving the solubility of active ingredients in the formulation and contributing to better absorption and efficacy of the eye drops.
