Indications
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.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
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.
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.
