Medicine Description tav-du 2.5 ml
Tav-Du 2.5 mg eye drops is a medication that combines timolol and travoprost to effectively manage intraocular pressure. Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist, which works by decreasing the production of aqueous humor in the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. Travoprost, on the other hand, is a prostaglandin analog that enhances the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral pathway. The synergistic effect of these two active ingredients leads to a more pronounced reduction in intraocular pressure, making Tav-Du an effective option in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
