Travatan Solution 2.5ml

Travatan Solution 2.5ml contains Travoprost, a prostaglandin analogue eye drop for glaucoma. Made by Alcon Couvreur, it is prescribed for glaucoma and high eye pressure. Pack size: travatan solution 2.5ml.

Uses of Travatan Solution 2.5ml

Travatan Solution 2.5ml eye drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. High pressure can gradually damage the optic nerve and lead to permanent sight loss, often without any warning symptoms. Regular use keeps the pressure down and helps protect remaining vision. It may be used alone or with other glaucoma drops, but it cannot restore sight that has already been lost.

How Travatan Solution 2.5ml works

Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue. It increases the drainage of fluid (aqueous humour) from the front of the eye, mainly through a secondary drainage pathway called the uveoscleral route. With fluid draining away more easily, the pressure inside the eye falls.

Possible side effects

Travatan Solution 2.5ml mainly causes side effects in and around the eye. Common ones include:

• Eye redness
• Itching or irritation
• Longer, thicker or darker eyelashes
• Gradual darkening of the iris
• Darkening of the eyelid skin
• Dry eyes

See your eye doctor promptly if you develop eye pain, swelling, sensitivity to light, sudden blurred or reduced vision, or signs of an eye infection.

Precautions and warnings

• Use Travatan Solution 2.5ml regularly as prescribed, as glaucoma usually has no symptoms but can damage sight if not controlled.
• Changes in iris colour may be permanent and more noticeable if only one eye is treated, so discuss this with your doctor.
• Remove soft contact lenses before use and wait before putting them back, and leave a few minutes between different eye drops.
• Tell your doctor if you have had eye inflammation, cataract surgery or macular oedema, and keep all eye pressure check-ups.
• Do not use it if you are pregnant or trying to conceive, and speak to your doctor if you are breastfeeding.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
