1. What is Traglasin and what is it used for
Traglasin contains travoprost, which belongs to a group of medicines called prostaglandin analogues. It works by reducing the pressure in the eye. It can be used alone or with other eye drops, such as beta-blockers, which also reduce the pressure in the eye.
Traglasin is used to reduce high pressure in the eye in adults, adolescents, and children from 2 months of age. This pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma.
This medicine does not contain preservatives.

3. How to use Traglasin
Follow exactly the instructions of administration of this medicine indicated by your doctor or the doctor treating the child. In case of doubt, consult your doctor, the doctor treating the child, or pharmacist again.
The recommended dose is
One drop in the affected eye(s) once a day, in the evening.
Traglasin should only be applied to both eyes if your doctor tells you to do so. Continue the treatment for the entire period of time indicated by your doctor or the doctor treating the child.
Traglasin should only be used as eye drops.
Wash your hands before using it. Make sure the single-dose container is intact before using this medicine. The solution should be used immediately after opening the container. To avoid contamination, do not let the tip of the single-dose container touch the eye or any other surface.
- Take a single-dose container from the strip.
- Hold the single-dose container in an upright position (with the cap facing up) and twist the cap until it comes off.
- Tilt your head or the child's head gently backwards. Gently pull the lower eyelid down to form a pocket between the eyelid and the eye. Turn the single-dose container upside down and squeeze until one drop falls into the eye or eyes to be treated.
- After using Traglasin, gently close your eyes and press the edge of the eye, next to the nose, with your finger for at least 1 minute. This helps prevent Traglasin from passing into the rest of the body.
- If you are applying drops to both eyes, repeat the above steps for the other eye.
- Discard the single-dose container after use, even if there is still solution inside.
If a drop falls outside the eye, try again.
If you or the child are using other eye medicines, such as eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 minutes between applying Traglasin and the other eye medicines.
If you or the child receive more Traglasin than you/they should
You can flush it out with warm water. Do not apply more drops until the next dose is due.
In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.
If you forget to use Traglasin
Continue with the next dose that was scheduled. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose. Never apply more than one drop in the affected eye(s) in one day.
If you stop using Traglasin
Do not stop using Traglasin without consulting your doctor or the doctor treating the child first, as the pressure in your eye or the child's eye may not be controlled, which could lead to loss of vision.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, the doctor treating the child, or pharmacist.
