How Zytrav Eye Drops works

Travoprost acts directly on the surface and inside of the eye where it is instilled.

How to take Zytrav Eye Drops

Use only as prescribed by an eye specialist. Wash hands before use. Instil the prescribed number of drops into the affected eye(s) and avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface. If using other eye medicines, keep a 5–10 minute gap between applications.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from eye use; flush the eye with clean water if too much is instilled. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Zytrav Eye Drops

Most side effects of Zytrav are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• Stinging on instillation
• Blurred vision for a few minutes
• Watering
• Redness
• Bitter taste

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
