Travatan Z

Travatan Z (generic name: travoprost) is an ophthalmic solution used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It belongs to the class of prostaglandin analogs, which work by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing pressure. This helps prevent damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Travatan Z to start lowering eye pressure?
Open FAQClose FAQ

It may take 2 to 4 hours for Travatan Z to begin lowering intraocular pressure, with peak effects occurring around 12 hours after administration.

Can Travatan Z cause permanent changes in eye color?
Open FAQClose FAQ

Yes, Travatan Z may cause gradual, permanent darkening of the iris, especially in individuals with hazel or mixed-colored eyes. This change is typically cosmetic and does not affect vision.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Travatan Z?
Open FAQClose FAQ

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

Can I use Travatan Z while wearing contact lenses?
Open FAQClose FAQ

No, you should remove your contact lenses before applying Travatan Z and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative in the eye drops can be absorbed by soft contact lenses.

How often should I use Travatan Z?
Open FAQClose FAQ

Travatan Z should be used once daily in the evening. Using it more frequently may reduce its effectiveness in lowering intraocular pressure.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Travatan Z Work?

Travatan Z works by increasing the outflow of the aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways in the eye. This reduces intraocular pressure, which is crucial in preventing optic nerve damage and vision loss in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.



Common Dosages

  • Travatan Z is available as a 0.004% ophthalmic solution, typically administered as one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.

7. Typical Dosing

  • For elevated intraocular pressure: The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Dosing more frequently than once a day may reduce the efficacy of the medication.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.


Who Shouldn't Take Travatan Z?

  • Known hypersensitivity to travoprost or any components of the formulation
  • Pregnancy: Prostaglandin analogs may pose a risk to fetal development and should be avoided during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary.


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Administer Travatan Z once daily in the evening. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them.
  • Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including your eye, to prevent contamination.
  • Do not use Travatan Z more than once daily, as increased dosing may decrease its effectiveness.
  • If you are using other ophthalmic medications, wait at least 5 minutes between the application of each medication.


Side Effects of Travatan Z

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness
  • Blurred vision
  • Eye discomfort
  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Eyelash changes (increased length, thickness, or number)


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Changes in iris color (permanent darkening)
  • Increased pigmentation of the eyelids
  • Macular edema
  • Severe eye irritation or pain


Risks and Warnings of Travatan Z

  • Iris and Eyelid Pigmentation: Travatan Z may cause gradual, permanent changes in the color of the iris (especially in individuals with mixed-colored eyes) and increased pigmentation of the eyelids.
  • Macular Edema: Patients with risk factors for macular edema should be monitored closely, as Travatan Z may increase the risk.
  • Ocular Inflammation: Use Travatan Z with caution in patients with active intraocular inflammation, as it may exacerbate the condition.


Interactions with Travatan Z

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other prostaglandin analogs: Using Travatan Z with other prostaglandin analog eye drops can decrease the effectiveness of either medication.
  • NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for ocular inflammation may interact with the prostaglandin pathway and reduce the effectiveness of Travatan Z.


Alternatives to Travatan Z

  • Latanoprost (Xalatan): Another prostaglandin analog used to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
  • Bimatoprost (Lumigan): A prostaglandin analog with similar effects, used for reducing IOP.
  • Timolol: A beta-blocker eye drop used to reduce intraocular pressure.
  • Brimonidine: An alpha agonist that lowers intraocular pressure by reducing the production of aqueous humor.
