Travoprost (BAK Free)
Travoprost (BAK-Free) is a topical ophthalmic solution used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This medication is a prostaglandin analog that works by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye, thereby lowering the pressure. Travoprost (BAK-Free) is formulated without benzalkonium chloride (BAK), a preservative that can cause irritation in some patients, making it suitable for those with sensitive eyes or for long-term use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take for Travoprost (BAK-Free) to work?
Travoprost typically begins to lower intraocular pressure within 2 to 4 hours after the first dose, with maximum pressure reduction occurring after about 12 hours.
Will Travoprost (BAK-Free) change my eye color?
Yes, Travoprost may cause increased brown pigmentation in the iris, especially in patients with mixed-colored irises (blue-brown, green-brown). This change is generally permanent.
Can I use Travoprost (BAK-Free) with other eye medications?
Yes, but you should wait at least 5 minutes between applying different eye drops to avoid dilution or interactions.
Is Travoprost (BAK-Free) safe for long-term use?
Yes, Travoprost is commonly used for long-term management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension, but your doctor will monitor you for side effects like changes in eye color or lash growth.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Travoprost (BAK-Free)?
If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use two doses at once
Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Travoprost (BAK Free) Work?
Travoprost works by mimicking the action of prostaglandins, which are naturally occurring substances in the eye that help regulate the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye). By increasing the outflow, Travoprost reduces intraocular pressure, which helps to prevent damage to the optic nerve and the progression of glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Common Dosages
- Ophthalmic solution: 0.004% concentration in multi-dose or single-use vials
Typical Dosing
- The typical dose for Travoprost (BAK-Free) is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Do not use more than once daily, as more frequent administration can reduce the effectiveness of the medication.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Reducing elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma
- Treating ocular hypertension in adults
Who Shouldn't Take Travoprost (BAK Free)?
- Hypersensitivity to travoprost or any of the components of the formulation
- Known or suspected ocular infections without proper medical evaluation
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Use Travoprost (BAK-Free) exactly as prescribed, applying one drop per eye once daily in the evening. Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any surface to avoid contamination.
- After applying the eye drops, close your eyes for a few minutes and press your finger on the inner corner of your eye to prevent the medication from draining out.
- Wait at least 5 minutes before using other eye medications to prevent dilution.
- If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Travoprost and wait 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative-free formulation is safe but still may interfere with the lenses.
Side Effects of Travoprost (BAK Free)
Common Side Effects
- Eye redness
- Blurred vision
- Dry eyes or eye discomfort
- Changes in eyelash growth
Uncommon/Severe Side Effects
- Changes in iris color (increased brown pigmentation)
- Eye pain or swelling
- Sensitivity to light

Risks and Warnings of Travoprost (BAK Free)
- Pigmentation Changes: Travoprost may cause gradual changes in the color of the iris (especially in individuals with mixed-color irises). This change is usually permanent.
- Eyelash Changes: Travoprost can increase the length, thickness, and number of eyelashes. While this is generally harmless, some people may find it cosmetically undesirable.
- Macular Edema: In rare cases, Travoprost may increase the risk of macular edema, particularly in patients with pre-existing risk factors such as diabetic retinopathy. Patients with these conditions should be monitored closely.
Interactions with Travoprost (BAK Free)
Common Drug Interactions
- Other ophthalmic medications: If you are using other eye drops or ointments, space them out by at least 5 minutes to avoid interactions.
- Non-ophthalmic drugs: Travoprost has minimal systemic absorption, so it is unlikely to interact with oral or systemic medications.
Alternatives to Travoprost (BAK Free)
- Latanoprost: Another prostaglandin analog used to lower intraocular pressure, though it may contain preservatives like BAK.
- Bimatoprost: A prostaglandin analog with a similar mechanism, also used for glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
- Timolol: A beta-blocker used in eye drop form to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Dorzolamide: A carbonic anhydrase inhibitor used to reduce fluid production in the eye.
