About Travatan 2.5 ml (0.004%)

Travatan 2.5 ml (0.004%) is a prescription eye drop solution designed to manage high Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in individuals with Open-angle Glaucoma or Ocular hypertension. It is manufactured by Alcon Laboratories Private Limited. This sterile ophthalmic solution contains the active ingredient Travoprost, a Prostaglandin analog. 

What are the uses & benefits of Travatan?

Travatan 2.5 is primarily used to treat conditions associated with elevated Intraocular Pressureincluyendo:

• Open-angle Glaucoma: A chronic condition where the drainage angle of the eye becomes less efficient over time, leading to increased pressure within the eye. It is a progressive and irreversible optic nerve damage that may induce blindness
• Ocular hypertension: Elevated pressure inside the eye, which can increase the risk of developing Glaucoma. However, the chances of vision loss are minimal

Here are some of the benefits of using Travatan eye drops:

• Convenient administration: Travatan comes in a convenient eye drop form, making it easy to administer and integrate into daily eye care routines
• Long-lasting relief: Travatan provides sustained reduction of Intraocular Pressure with only once-daily dosing
• Preservation of vision: By lowering Intraocular Pressure, Travatan helps preserve vision and may slow down the progression of Glaucoma

How does the Travatan ophthalmic solution work?

Travatan contains Travoprost, a synthetic Prostaglandin analog. Prostaglandins are naturally occurring substances in the body that regulate various physiological processes, including inflammation and Intraocular Pressure.

Travoprost works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, the fluid inside the eye, through the trabecular meshwork, the eye’s drainage system. By enhancing fluid drainage, Travatan reduces Intraocular Pressure, thereby helping to prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserving vision.
