AbstractThe fixed combination eye drop Duotrav is a combination of travoprost 0.004% and timolol maleate 0.5%. Both travoprost and timolol have been used separately for the treatment of glaucoma by lowering intraocular pressure. Multiple studies have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of the fixed combination travoprost/timolol for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The once daily dosing of this combination offers multiple potential advantages such as patient adherence, potential cost advantages, and reduction in exposure to preservatives. This article discusses the benefits of fixed combination medications and summarizes past and recent studies listed on the online resource PubMed of the fixed combination travoprost/timolol with comparison to both monotherapy and other similar fixed combination ocular hypotensive preparations.
