WHAT DUOTRAV IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
DuoTrav eye drop solution is a combination of two active substances
(travoprost and timolol).
Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue which works by increasing the
outflow of aqueous fluid from
the eye, which lowers its pressure. Timolol is a beta blocker which
works by reducing the production
of fluid within the eye. The two substances work together to reduce
pressure within the eye.
DuoTrav eye drops are used to treat high pressure in the eye in
adults, including the elderly
.
This
pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1

DuoTrav is indicated in adults for the decrease of intraocular
pressure (IOP) in patients with
open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently
responsive to topical beta blockers
or prostaglandin analogues (see section 5.1).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Use in adults, including the elderly _
The dose is one drop of DuoTrav 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.
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.
_Special populations _
_Hepatic and renal impairment _
No studies have been conducted with DuoTrav or with timolol 5 mg/mL
eye drops in patients with
hepatic or renal impairment.
Travoprost has been studied in patients with mild to severe hepatic
impairment and in patients with
mild to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance as low as 14
mL/min). No dose adjustment was
necessary in these patients.
Patients with hepatic or renal impairment are unlikely to require dose
adjustment with DuoTrav (see
section 5.2).
