Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop

Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains travoprost 40 micrograms in each 2.5 mL bottle. It belongs to the prostaglandin analog class, which is used to lower pressure inside the eye. Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop is mainly prescribed for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing eye pressure, it helps lower the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss over time.

How it works: Travoprost in this eye drop helps fluid drain better from the eye, which lowers the pressure inside the eye. Using Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop consistently helps keep eye pressure from staying too high.

Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop is a standard prescription eye-drop strength, not a pill or injection, and it is intended for direct use in the eye. Because it is a full-strength bottle used on its own, a doctor may choose it for patients who need a prostaglandin eye drop specifically to control eye pressure with once-daily dosing. The effect is not immediate like a pain reliever; it works gradually with regular use.

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Lowering intraocular pressure
• Helping protect the optic nerve

• Use Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop exactly as your eye doctor prescribes.
• Usually instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Wash your hands, tilt your head back, and avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface.
• After placing the drop, close your eye gently and press the inner corner for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce drainage.
• If you use other eye medicines, separate them by at least 5 minutes unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.

Travatan 40 mcg/2.5 mL Eye Drop delivers travoprost at 40 micrograms per 2.5 mL bottle, with dosing measured as drops into the eye rather than by swallowing. For most patients, it is used once a day, usually in the evening, and it should not be used more often than prescribed. Your doctor decides the exact dose and which eye or eyes to treat; do not use extra drops to make it work faster.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
