Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml

Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml belongs to the class of ophthalmic preparations. It is used for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is an eye condition that causes damage to the optic nerve (necessary for optimal vision) as a result of unusual high eye pressure. Ocular hypertension is an increase in ocular pressure caused by inadequate aqueous humor outflow (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml contains Travoprost, a prostaglandin analogue that reduces elevated ocular pressure by enhancing the outflow of aqueous fluid.

Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml should be used as prescribed by your doctor. Conjunctival hyperemia (a sign of acute anterior inflammation), decreased visual acuity, eye discomfort, foreign body sensation, pain and pruritus (itching) may occur in some situations. The majority of side effects do not require medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Travoprost or any ingredients present in the Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml, inform the doctor. It is recommended not to take Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml if you are a pregnant or nursing mother without first consulting your doctor. If you are using more than one ophthalmic medicine, give each one (drug) at least a ten-minute gap. Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml may induce temporary blurred vision; therefore, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear. Before using the Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml, inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking to rule out any potential negative effects.

The intraocular pressure (the pressure built inside the eyeball) is naturally maintained by a normally flowing liquid known as aqueous humour. If this outflow of liquid gets blocked, then aqueous pressure starts putting more pressure within the eyeball. Excessive pressure must be managed; otherwise, it can damage the optic nerve and impair vision. Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml is a well-known medication for open-angle glaucoma that effectively reduces excessive pressure by inhibiting prostaglandin action in the eye. Prostaglandin is a naturally occurring chemical that contributes to eye dryness. Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5 ml functions as a synthetic prostaglandin that works similarly to natural ones by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour inside the eyeball, resulting in a decrease in intraocular pressure.

• Quit smoking as it increases the risk of open-angle glaucoma.
• Avoid the consumption of too much caffeine and alcohol as these products affect eye health and, at one point, increase eye pressure.
• If you wear contact lenses, clean and replace them more frequently. Never share your contact lenses. Always cleanse your hands before putting on the contact lens.
