Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue supplied as an eye drop solution. It is used in adults to bring down pressure inside the eye in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Keeping that pressure controlled matters because raised pressure can damage the optic nerve over time.
Open-angle Glaucoma, Ocular Hypertension
0.004%
Travoprost eye drops lower pressure inside the eye in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. This prostaglandin comes in one strength in a bottle. You see the price per bottle for each option.
Travoprost lowers intraocular pressure in adults with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Open-angle glaucoma is the form most often treated with this type of drop. Bringing the pressure down reduces the chance of optic nerve damage and the vision loss that follows it.
The active ingredient is a prostaglandin F2alpha analogue. It acts on the eye to improve the drainage of aqueous humour, the fluid that circulates inside the eye, so pressure falls. The drop begins to work within 2 to 4 hours and its effect is held for about 24 hours.
The travoprost eye drop solution at 0.004% comes in a bottle and sits within the wider range of eye care medicines. Pharmacy partners in India ship to Malaysia in discreet packaging.
Do not use travoprost if you are hypersensitive to it or to any other ingredient in the solution. It is for adults. It must not be used during pregnancy, and use should be avoided while breastfeeding.
Treatment can slowly increase pigmentation of the iris and alter the length, thickness or number of eyelashes. Eye irritation and conjunctival hyperaemia are common; blurred vision and dry eye are also reported. Iritis and macular oedema are serious and require immediate medical attention. If you use other eye drops, tell your doctor, as doses may need to be spaced apart so each is absorbed.
