Optaprost Eye Drop contains Travoprost, a prostaglandin analogue used in ophthalmology to reduce elevated intraocular pressure. It is commonly prescribed for patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, Optaprost helps effectively lower eye pressure and protects the optic nerve from progressive damage, thereby reducing the risk of vision loss.

Composition

• Active Ingredient: Travoprost (Ophthalmic Solution)

Indications

Optaprost Eye Drop is indicated for:

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients at risk of optic nerve damage

Mechanism of Action

Travoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that increases the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral pathway. By enhancing fluid drainage from the eye, it effectively reduces intraocular pressure. This mechanism helps prevent optic nerve damage and preserves vision in patients with glaucoma.

Dosage and Administration

• Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as more frequent use may reduce effectiveness.
• Wash hands before application and avoid touching the dropper tip.
• Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after at least 15 minutes.

Benefits

• Provides effective once-daily control of intraocular pressure
• Enhances aqueous humor drainage
• Helps prevent progression of glaucoma
• Long-lasting pressure-lowering effect
• Convenient dosing improves patient adherence
