WHAT TRAVOPROST IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Travoprost contains travoprost, one of a group of medicines
called prostaglandin analogues. It
works by reducing the pressure in the eye. It may be used on its own
or with other drops e.g.
beta-blockers, which also reduce pressure.
Travoprost is used to reduce high pressure in the eye in adults,
adolescents and children from
2 months old onward. This pressure can lead to an illness called
glaucoma.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Decrease of elevated intraocular pressure in adult patients with
ocular hypertension or open-angle
glaucoma (see section 5.1).
Decrease of elevated intraocular pressure in pediatric patients aged 2
months to <18 years with ocular
hypertension or pediatric glaucoma (see section 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For ocular use.
Posology
_Use in adults, including elderly population _
The dose is one drop of Travoprost 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.
