The recommended dose is:

One drop into the affected eye(s) once daily, in the evening.

Travoprost should only be applied to both eyes if your doctor has told you to do so. Continue the treatment for the period of time recommended by your doctor or your child's doctor.

Travoprost Stada should only be used as eye drops.

1Needle connected to a vial with a circular rubber stopper and concentric lines showing insertion

  • Immediately before using a bottle for the first time, open the bag, remove the bottle (figure 1), and write the date of opening on the space provided on the label.
  • Wash your hands.
  • Remove the cap.

2Human eye with detailed eyelashes and an arrow pointing down below the iris

  • Hold the bottle, upside down, between your fingers.
  • Tilt your head or your child's head gently backwards. Gently pull the lower eyelid down to form a pocket between the eyelid and the eye. The drop should fall into this pocket (figure 2).
  • Bring the tip of the bottle close to the eye. You may find it helpful to look in a mirror.

3Tweezers holding a nail with nail clippers trimming the top right corner

  • Do not touch the eye, eyelid, or surrounding areas with the dropper. The drops could become infected.
  • Gently squeeze the bottle to release one drop of travoprost at a time (figure 3).
  • After using travoprost, gently close your eyes, press the edge of your eye, next to your nose (figure 4), for at least 1 minute. This helps prevent travoprost from passing to the rest of the body.

4Application of eye drops with hand holding the bottle and lower eyelid stretched

  • If you are applying drops to both eyes, repeat the above steps for the other eye.
  • Close the bottle tightly after use.
  • Use one bottle at a time. Do not open the bag until you need to use the bottle.

If a drop falls outside the eye, try again.

If you or your child are using other eye medicines, such as eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5 minutes between applying travoprost and the other eye medicines.

If you or your child receive more Travoprost Stada than you should

Rinse your eye with lukewarm water. Do not apply more drops until the next dose is due.

If you forget to use Travoprost Stada

Continue with the next dose as planned. Do notapply a double dose to make up for the missed dose. Never apply more than one drop per day to the affected eye(s).

If you stop using Travoprost Stada

Do not stop using travoprost without talking to your doctor or your child's doctor first. The pressure in your eye or your child's eye will 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 or pharmacist.
