DuoTrav Information:

Duo Trav is a combination drug. Duo Trav composes the active ingredients of Travatan (Travaprost 0.004%) and Timoptic (Timolol 0.05%) into a single vial. Duo Trav is used to lower raised pressure in the eye and to treat glaucoma. Although Duo Trav helps control your glaucoma it does not cure it. Duo Trav is made up of 2 active ingredients, timolol maleate and travapost. Travaprost works by allowing more fluid to flow out from within your eye(s). Timolol maleate lowers pressure in the eye by reducing the production of fluid. Travapost belongs to a family of medicines called prostaglandin agonists. Timolol maleate belongs to a family of medicines called betablockers. Your doctor may have prescribed Duo Trav for another reason. Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why Duo Trav has been prescribed for you.
