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 recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Optaprost should not be administered more than once daily since it has been shown that more frequent administration of prostaglandin analogs may decrease the IOP lowering effect.Pediatric Use: Use in pediatric patients below the age of 16 years is not recommended because of potential safety concerns related to increased pigmentation following long term chronic use.Geriatric Use: No overall clinical differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and other adult patients.
