Active Ingredient: Travoprost
Decrease of elevated intraocular pressure in adult patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
Ophthalmic
1 - 1 {drops}
From 1 To 1 {drops} once every day
The dose is one drop of travoprost in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily. Optimal effect is obtained if the dose is administered in the evening.
Nasolacrimal occlusion or gently closing the eyelid after administration is recommended. This may reduce the systemic absorption of medicinal products administered via the ocular route and result in a decrease in systemic adverse reactions.
If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the medicinal products must be administered at least 5 minutes apart.
If a dose is missed, treatment should be continued with the next dose as planned. The dose should not exceed one drop in the affected eye(s) daily.
When substituting another ophthalmic antiglaucoma medicinal product with travoprost, the other medicinal product should be discontinued and travoprost should be started the following day.
Travoprost can be used in paediatric patients from 2 months to <18 years at the same posology as in adults. However, data in the age group 2 months to <3 years (9 patients) is limited.
The safety and efficacy of travoprost in children below the age of 2 months have not been established. No data are available.
