Apo Travoprost Z information

Dosage
Side Effects
Available Form
Contraindications
Precautions
Warnings

The recommended adult dose of travoprost is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily each evening. Do not use travoprost more than once a day. Using travoprost eye drops more often may decrease the effectiveness of Apo Travoprost Z.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

To use the eye drops:

  • Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
  • Remove the cap and place it in a clean location. To avoid possible contamination, keep the tip of the container away from contact with any surface.
  • Tilt your head back and look towards the ceiling.
  • With your index finger, gently pull the lower eyelid down and away from the eye to form a pouch.
  • Instill one drop into the pouch but do not allow the tip of the container to touch the eye or areas around the eye.
  • Gently apply pressure to the inner corner of the eye (at the bridge of the nose) for about 30 seconds. (This is called nasolacrimal occlusion.) This prevents the medication from dripping down through the tear duct and entering the bloodstream, which could cause you to experience some side effects.
  • Repeat with the other eye, if prescribed by your doctor.
  • Wash your hands again to remove any medication.

If you use other eye drops as well, wait at least 5 minutes before using them.

It is important to use Apo Travoprost Z exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not instill a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

It is very important to avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, any skin, or your eye. This contamination can result in a bacterial infection. Report any signs of an eye infection (e.g., redness, irritation, pain) to your doctor immediately.

Store Apo Travoprost Z at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
