Mode of Action

Exact mechanism of ocular hypotensive effect is unclear, but it is thought to be related to reduction of aqueous humour formation. beta-blockade also causes lowering of BP. Travoprost, a prodrug and synthetic analogue of dinoprost (prostaglandin F2alpha), reduces intraocular pressure by increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humour.

Interaction

Potential additive effect w/ oral Ca channel blockers, ?-adrenergic blockers, antiarrhythmics, digitalis glycosides, parasympathomimetics, guanethidine. May potentiate hypertensive reaction to sudden withdrawal of clonidine. May potentiate systemic ?-blockade w/ CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. quinidine, paroxetine). Risk of mydriasis w/ epinephrine. May increase the hypoglycaemic effect of antidiabetic agents.
