Indications

Trapost OSD is a prostaglandin analogue. It works as a selective FP prostanoid receptor agonist and is believed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of fluid through the uveoscleral pathway. Trapost OSD is an isopropyl ester prodrug: once absorbed through the cornea, it is broken down by esterase enzymes in the cornea into its biologically active free acid form.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Travoprost 0.004% ophthalmic solution is used to lower elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy: There haven't been enough well-controlled studies in pregnant women to know what risk, if any, this medicine poses. Breastfeeding: It isn't known whether Travoprost passes into breast milk after being used in the eyes, and its effects on a nursing baby or on milk supply haven't been studied.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: The usual adult dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes, once a day in the evening. Optaprost should not be used more than once a day. More frequent use of prostaglandin analogues has been shown to reduce its effect on lowering eye pressure (IOP). Pediatric use: Optaprost is not recommended for children under 16 years of age. This is because of possible safety concerns linked to increased pigmentation after long-term use. Geriatric use: Older adults have not shown any overall difference in safety or effectiveness compared with other adult patients.
