Travatan Z
Travatan Z Overview
Travatan Z (generic: travoprost) is a prescription medication used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Travatan Z belongs to a group of drugs called prostaglandin analogs, which work by helping excess fluid drain from the eye, lowering the pressure in the eye.
This medication comes in the form of an eye drop. Regular Travatan is no longer available, however, Travatan Z, which contains a different preservative, is still sold.
Travatan Z is usually instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Remove contact lenses before instilling this medication and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting contacts.
Common side effects include eye redness, blurred vision, and eye discomfort.
