Travoprost.

Travoprost is a synthetic ester prodrug of a prostaglandin F(2alpha) analogue used in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Intraocular travoprost 0.004% once daily was significantly more effective at reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension than placebo or timolol 0.5% twice daily and was at least as effective as latanoprost 0.005% once daily in randomised, double-blind studies. When used as adjunctive therapy with timolol 0.5% twice daily in patients with elevated IOP not adequately controlled by timolol alone, travoprost 0.004% showed significant additional IOP reduction in a randomised double-blind trial. Travoprost 0.004% was well tolerated in clinical trials. The majority of adverse events such as ocular hyperaemia and eyelash changes were mild and resolved without treatment.
