XOVATRA T DROPS is a combination drug containing 'ophthalmic medication' used to treat raised pressure in the eye. XOVATRA T DROPS is used alone or in combination with other drugs. Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions in which the optic nerve is damaged. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in your eye. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness for people over the age of 60.

XOVATRA T DROPS contains Travoprost (prostaglandin analogue) and Timolol (beta-blocker), timolol is primarily used in treating ocular hypertension (high pressure of the eye). Travoprost works by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye) from the eye and reducing increased eye pressure. Timolol works by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye. As increased pressure can lead to a disease called glaucoma. If the pressure is too high, it can also lead to loss of sight. XOVATRA T DROPS should be put only in the affected eye and contact with the normal eye should be avoided.

Use XOVATRA T DROPS as prescribed by your doctor. XOVATRA T DROPS is only for use in eyes.

However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

• Avoid alcoholic beverages with XOVATRA T DROPS as it can make you dehydrated and affect the eye's pressure.

• Visit an optician regularly to monitor your eye pressure.

• Try to include heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acid containing food drinks in your daily diet. You can also use low-fat cooking oil like olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil, and coconut oil.

• A diet including green and leafy vegetables, fruits helps to lower eye pressure.

• Do regular moderate exercise and appropriate rest is important for illness.

• Do not use two eye drops together. Try to maintain a gap of at least 10-15 minutes between the two eye drops. 

• Travoprost may be absorbed through the skin. If any of the medicine comes into contact with the skin then it should be washed off straight away.

Glaucoma: It is an eye disease in which the optic nerve is damaged. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in your eye. If not treated, it can lead to loss of vision. It is a major cause of blindness in people who are above the age of 60 years.

Ocular hypertension: It is a condition in which the pressure of the eye is higher than normal as a result of poor drainage of the aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye). Essentially, this means that too much fluid enters the eye without being drained, causing high amounts of pressure to build up. The increased pressure can be due to certain other diseases, an injury, or an adverse effect of certain medications. If left untreated, it can lead to optic nerve damage and permanent vision loss.
