Duotrav/Travoprost+Timolol

If your eye pressure isn't fully controlled with one treatment, switching to a stronger, combined option can make a noticeable difference. That's where Duotrav eye drops come in, offering a more advanced way to manage glaucoma.

Duotrav drops combine travoprost plus timolol in one formula to deliver effective, long-lasting IOP reduction. This dual-action approach is widely used in glaucoma management when stronger and more consistent pressure control is needed.

Duotrav eye drops are prescribed to reduce eye pressure in people with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. When pressure builds up inside the eye, it can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision problems if left untreated.

These prescription drops are commonly used for open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension therapy, and patients needing stronger combination glaucoma treatment. They are often recommended when a single treatment does not provide enough pressure control.

Duotrav glaucoma treatment works by combining two medicines that lower eye pressure in different ways. The formula includes travoprost, which increases the drainage of fluid from the eye, and timolol, a beta-blocker that reduces fluid production.

This prostaglandin plus beta-blocker combination provides increased fluid outflow from the eye and reduced fluid production inside the eye. Together, they deliver effective IOP reduction and improved overall glaucoma management.

Duotrav eye drops are usually applied once daily, often in the evening.

• Wash your hands before use.
• Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid.
• Apply one drop into the affected eye.
• Close your eye and press gently at the inner corner for about 1–2 minutes.

Do not use more than one drop at a time. Leave 5–10 minutes between different eye drops. Remove contact lenses before use and wait 15 minutes before reinserting. Use consistently for effective eye pressure control. Discard the bottle 4 weeks after opening to reduce infection risk. Do not stop treatment suddenly, and attend regular eye check-ups.

Your prescriber will go through your treatment plan and usage instructions clearly during your consultation at Pharmacy Planet.

Duotrav eye drops are suitable for adults who need combination treatment for glaucoma or ocular hypertension. They are typically prescribed for adults with uncontrolled eye pressure on single therapy, patients switching to combination glaucoma treatment, and individuals requiring long-term ocular hypertension therapy.

This medication may not be suitable if you are allergic to travoprost, timolol or similar medicines, have asthma or breathing-related conditions, or have certain heart conditions such as slow heart rate or heart failure. Caution is needed if you have had eye surgery or infections, have a history of eye inflammation, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are using other prescription drops.

Like all glaucoma therapy, Duotrav may cause side effects.

Common Side Effects:

• Redness or irritation in the eye
• Itching or discomfort
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Changes in eyelash growth or eye colour over time
• Blurred vision after use

Serious Side Effects — Seek medical attention if you notice:

• Breathing difficulties
• Chest discomfort or irregular heartbeat
• Severe eye pain or swelling
• Signs of allergic reaction such as rash or swelling

Duotrav eye drops may interact with beta-blockers or blood pressure medicines, other glaucoma treatments, medicines affecting heart rhythm, and treatments for respiratory conditions. Always provide a full medication list during your consultation.

Duotrav drops are chosen for their powerful dual-action approach to lowering eye pressure. People often prefer this treatment because it combines two active ingredients in one bottle, delivers strong IOP reduction with once-daily use, simplifies treatment compared to using multiple drops, is widely used for effective glaucoma management, and supports long-term ocular hypertension therapy. For many patients, Duotrav offers a more convenient and reliable way to control eye pressure.
