Description

\nTravast Plus is a clear & colourless solution that contains two active ingredients- Travoprost and Timolol Maleate. These two drugs decrease raised pressure within the eye. They work in different ways to produce a combined effect greater than either medicine produces on its own. \n \n

\n

Indications

\nDecrease of intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues. \n \n

\n
