Travoprost/timolol.

Travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% fixed combination (travoprost/timolol) is a once-daily eyedrops solution comprising the prostaglandin F(2alpha) analogue travoprost and the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist timolol. It is indicated for the treatment of patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical beta-adrenoceptor antagonists or prostaglandin analogues. Once-daily travoprost/timolol had generally similar efficacy to travoprost plus timolol and was more effective than travoprost or timolol monotherapy in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension in randomised, well designed studies. Both travoprost/timolol and latanoprost plus timolol maintained IOP control, and travoprost/timolol was shown to be noninferior to latanoprost/timolol in randomised, well designed studies. Travoprost/timolol was generally well tolerated, with a tolerability profile similar to those of travoprost plus timolol, travoprost or timolol monotherapy and latanoprost plus timolol. The majority of adverse events, such as ocular hyperaemia, were mild and resolved with or without treatment.
