POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Use in adults, including elderly population _
The dose is one drop of TRAVATAN in the conjunctival sac of the
affected eye(s) once daily.
Optimal effect is obtained if the dose is administered in the evening.
Nasolacrimal occlusion or gently closing the eyelid after
administration is recommended. This may
reduce the systemic absorption of medicinal products administered via
the ocular route and result in a
decrease in systemic adverse reactions.
If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used,
the medicinal products must be
administered at least 5 minutes apart (see section 4.5).
If a dose is missed, treatment should be continued with the next dose
as planned. The dose should not
exceed one drop in the affected eye(s) daily.
When substituting another ophthalmic antiglaucoma medicinal product
with TRAVATAN, the other
medicinal product should be discontinued and TRAVATAN should be
started the following day.
