How Does It Work?

• Travoprost+Timolol works by the combined action of timolol, which reduces the production of aqueous humour (the fluid in the eye), and travoprost, which increases the outflow of this fluid. Together they lower the increased eye pressure.

Interactions with other medicines

• Since Travoprost+Timolol is to be used externally, it is less likely to interact with other medicines. However, consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines for treating other health conditions.

Overdose

• As Travoprost+Timolol is meant for external application, cases of overdose are unlikely. However, upon accidental ingestion, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.
• If you have applied extra quantities of it, wipe out the excess medicine with tissue or cotton.
