Travoprost/Timolol Stada eye drops in solution is an association of two active substances (travoprost and timolol). Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue that acts by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eye, and therefore reduces the pressure in the eye. Timolol is a beta-blocker that acts by reducing the formation of fluid inside the eye. The two substances act together to reduce the pressure inside the eye.

Travoprost/Timolol Stada eye drops are used to treat high eye pressure in adults, including elderly patients. This pressure may lead to a disease called glaucoma.

Do not use Travoprost/Timolol Stada

• If you are allergic to travoprost, prostaglandins, timolol, beta-blockers, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• If you currently have or have had in the past respiratory problems such as asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (a serious lung condition that can cause wheezing, difficulty breathing, and/or persistent cough), or other types of respiratory problems.
• If you have severe allergic rhinitis.
• If you have a slow heart rate, heart failure, or a heart rhythm disorder (irregular heartbeats).
• If your eye surface is cloudy.

Consult your doctor if you are in any of these situations.
