DuoTrav (Travoprost 0.004%/Timolol Maleate 0.05%) is used to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It contains two active ingredients: Travoprost and Timolol Maleate. Travoprost is a prostaglandin analog that increases the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye) through the uveoscleral pathway, lowering IOP. Timolol Maleate is a beta-blocker that reduces aqueous humor production, further helping decrease IOP. Combining these two mechanisms, DuoTrav effectively lowers eye pressure, reducing the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss associated with glaucoma.
