TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML

How TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML Works

• TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML belongs to a class of medications known as prostaglandin analogs, specifically designed to alleviate elevated pressure within the eye. This increased pressure, often associated with conditions like glaucoma or ocular hypertension, can, if left untreated, lead to irreversible damage to the optic nerve and subsequent vision loss. TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML works by targeting the natural drainage system of the eye. The eye continuously produces a clear fluid called aqueous humor, which nourishes the internal structures. This fluid needs to drain out at a similar rate to maintain a healthy pressure balance. TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML enhances the outflow of this aqueous humor.
• By increasing the drainage, the medication effectively reduces the amount of fluid inside the eye, consequently lowering the intraocular pressure. This mechanism of action helps to protect the optic nerve from further damage and preserves visual function. Regular use of TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML, as prescribed by your doctor, is crucial for managing elevated eye pressure and preventing the progression of glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Adhering to the recommended dosage and schedule ensures optimal effectiveness in maintaining healthy eye pressure levels.
• In simpler terms, TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML acts like a drain opener for your eye's natural fluid drainage system. When the drain is clear, fluid flows out more easily, preventing pressure from building up and safeguarding your vision.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them. Common side effects include:

• Eye pain
• Foreign body sensation
• Eye discomfort
• Eye itching
• Ocular hyperemia
• Decreased vision

• Keep TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5ML at room temperature.

• For optimal results, administer one drop of TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening or at night. Consistency in timing will help maintain stable eye pressure throughout the day.
• Immediately after applying the drop, gently press on the inner corner of your eye (near the nose) for approximately one minute. This simple technique helps to prevent the medication from draining away too quickly and increases its absorption into the eye.
• Be aware that TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML may cause a gradual brown pigmentation of the iris, the colored part of your eye. This change in color could be permanent, so it's important to discuss any concerns with your doctor.
• You might notice that your eyelashes become thicker and longer, and the skin of your eyelids may darken slightly. These effects are usually temporary and should gradually fade after you stop using TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML. If these changes bother you, consult your eye care professional.
• If you are using other eye medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes after instilling TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML before applying the next medication in the same eye. This prevents dilution of either medication and ensures that each one works effectively.
• TRAVATAN DROPS 2.5 ML is designed to lower elevated pressure inside the eye. By effectively managing this pressure, it helps reduce the risk of potential vision loss and protects your eyesight in the long run. Regular use as prescribed is essential for maintaining healthy vision.
