Mechanism of action
A prostaglandin F2alpha analogue that increases the outflow of aqueous humor, thus lowering intraocular pressure.
Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue that lowers pressure in the eye by increasing the outflow of fluid. It is used once a day, in the evening, for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It comes as 0.004% eye drops in a 2.5 ml bottle; the original brand is Travatan.
Do not put the drops in while wearing contact lenses: remove them first. Travoprost may change your eye colour to brown or a deeper shade of brown (MedlinePlus), and it can darken and lengthen the eyelashes.
