Indications & Uses
Travoprost + Timolol Maleate sterile ophthalmic solution is used to lower raised pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It is meant for those who don't respond well enough to topical beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues.
Pharmacology
Travoprost and Timolol lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in two different ways that work together. Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue, and it brings the pressure down by increasing trabecular outflow and uveoscleral outflow. Timolol is a non-selective beta adrenergic receptor blocker. It has no significant intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, no direct myocardial depressant activity and no local anesthetic (membrane stabilizing) activity. Timolol lowers IOP by reducing the formation of aqueous humor in the ciliary epithelium.

Side Effects
No serious eye or body-wide side effects have been reported with Travoprost + Timolol Maleate. The side effect reported most often was ocular hyperaemia (redness of the eye). Other common ones may include keratitis, anterior chamber flare, eye pain, photophobia, eye swelling, conjunctival haemorrhage, corneal staining, ocular discomfort, reduced visual acuity, visual disturbance and blurred vision, and similar effects.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
Travoprost and timolol are eye medicines, but like other medicines applied to the eye, they are absorbed into the body. Because timolol is a beta-blocker, the same kinds of heart and lung side effects seen with beta-blocking medicines taken by mouth or injection may occur with this combination.
Contraindications
Don't give Travoprost and Timolol Maleate to anyone who is hypersensitive to Travoprost, Timolol or any other component of the preparation.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
There isn't enough data on the use of Travoprost eye drops in pregnant women. So Travoprost + Timolol Maleate should not be used during pregnancy unless it is clearly necessary. Doctors don't know whether Travoprost from eye drops passes into human breast milk. Timolol does pass into breast milk. For this reason, Travoprost + Timolol Maleate is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
Overdose
If someone takes too much Travoprost + Timolol Maleate, the treatment is symptomatic, meaning the doctor treats whatever symptoms appear.
⚠️ In an emergency call 999 or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Storage
Keep the Travoprost + Timolol Maleate bottle in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light. Keep it out of the reach of children. Once you have opened the bottle, don't use it for more than 4 weeks.
