DuoTrav eye drop solution is a combination of two active substances (travoprost and timolol). Travoprost is a prostaglandin analogue which works by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eye, which lowers its pressure. Timolol is a beta blocker which works by reducing the production of fluid within the eye. The two substances work together to reduce pressure within the eye.

 

DuoTrav eye drops are used to treat high pressure in the eye in adults, including the elderly. This pressure can lead to an illness called glaucoma.


 

a.       Do not use DuoTrav

·                if you are allergic to travoprost, prostaglandins, timolol, beta blockers or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

·                if you have now or have had in the past respiratory problems such as asthma, severe chronic obstructive bronchitis (severe lung disease which may cause wheeziness, difficulty in breathing and/or long‑standing cough), or other types of breathing problems.

·                if you have severe hay fever.

·                if you have a slow heartbeat, heart failure or a disorder of heart rhythm (irregular heartbeat).

·                if the surface of your eye is cloudy.

 

Ask your doctor for advice if any of these applies to you.

 

b.      Take special care with DuoTrav

Talk to your doctor before using DuoTrav if you have now or have had in the past

·                coronary heart disease (symptoms can include chest pain or tightness, breathlessness or choking), heart failure, low blood pressure.

·                disturbances of heart rate such as slow heartbeat.

·                breathing problems, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

·                poor blood circulation disease (such as Raynaud’s disease or Raynaud’s syndrome).

·                diabetes (as timolol may mask signs and symptoms of low blood sugar).

·                overactivity of the thyroid gland (as timolol may mask signs and symptoms of thyroid disease).

·                myasthenia gravis (chronic neuromuscular weakness).

·                cataract surgery.

·                eye inflammation.

 

If you need to have any type of surgery, tell your doctor that you are using DuoTrav as timolol may change the effects of some medicines used during anaesthesia.

 

If you get any severe allergic reaction (skin rash, redness and itching of the eye) while  using DuoTrav, whatever the cause, adrenaline treatment may not be as effective. It is therefore important to tell the doctor that you are using DuoTrav when you are to receive any other treatment.

 

DuoTrav may change the colour of your iris (the coloured part of your eye). This change may be permanent.

 

DuoTrav may increase the length, thickness, colour and/or number of your eyelashes and may cause unusual hair growth on your eyelids.

 

Travoprost may be absorbed through the skin and therefore should not be used by women who are pregnant or are attempting to become pregnant. If any of the medicine comes into contact with the skin then it should be washed off straight away.

 

c.       Children

DuoTrav is not to be used by children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

 

d.      Using Other medicines, herbal or dietary and DuoTrav

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.

 

DuoTrav can affect or be affected by other medicines you are using, including other eye drops for the treatment of glaucoma. Tell your doctor if you are using or intend to use medicines to lower blood pressure, heart medicines including quinidine (used to treat heart conditions and some types of malaria), medicines to treat diabetes or the antidepressants fluoxetine or paroxetine.

 

e.       Pregnancy, breast‑feeding.

If you are pregnant or breast‑feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice before taking this medicine.

 

Do not use DuoTrav if you are pregnant unless your doctor considers it necessary. If you could get pregnant you must use adequate contraception whilst you use the medicine.

 

Do not use DuoTrav if you are breast‑feeding. DuoTrav may get into your milk.

 

f.        Driving and using machines

You may find that your vision is blurred for a time just after you use DuoTrav.

DuoTrav may also cause hallucinations, dizziness, nervousness or fatigue in some patients.

Do not drive or use machines until this has worn off.

 

g. Important information about some of the ingredients of DuoTrav

DuoTrav contains hydrogenated castor oil and propylene glycol which may cause skin reactions and irritation.

 

 


Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.

 

The recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes once a day in the morning or in the evening. Use at the same time each day.

 

Only use DuoTrav in both eyes if your doctor told you to do so.

 

Only use DuoTrav as eye drops.

 

 

·                Immediately before using a bottle for the first time, tear open the overwrap (picture 1), remove the bottle and write the date of opening on the label in the space provided.

·                Make sure you have a mirror available.

·                Wash your hands.

·                Twist off the bottle cap.

·                Hold the bottle, pointing down, between your thumb and fingers.

·                Tilt your head back. Pull your lower eyelid down with a clean finger until there is a “pocket” between the eyelid and your eye. The drop will go in here (picture 2).

·                Bring the bottle dropper close to the eye. Use the mirror if it helps.

·                Do not touch your eye or eyelid, the surrounding areas or other surfaces with the dropper. It could infect the drops.

·                Gently squeeze the bottle to release one drop of DuoTrav at a time (picture 3). If a drop misses your eye, try again.

·                After using DuoTrav, press your finger into the corner of your eye by your nose for 2 minutes (picture 4). This helps to stop DuoTrav getting into the rest of the body.

·                If you have to use DuoTrav in both eyes, repeat the above steps for your other eye.

·                Close the bottle cap firmly immediately after use.

·                Only use one bottle at a time. Do not open the overwrap until you need to use the bottle.

 

Use DuoTrav for as long as your doctor has told you to.

 

a.       If you use more DuoTrav than you should

If you use more DuoTrav than you should, rinse it all out with warm water. Do not put in any more drops until it is time for your next regular dose.

 

b.      If you forget to use DuoTrav

If you forget to use DuoTrav, continue with the next dose as planned. Do not use a double dose to make up for the forgotten dose. The dose should not exceed one drop daily in the affected eye(s).

 

c.       If you stop using DuoTrav

If you stop using DuoTrav without speaking to your doctor the pressure in your eye will not be controlled, which could lead to loss of sight.

 

If you are using other eye drops in addition to DuoTrav, leave at least 5 minutes between applying DuoTrav and the other drops.

 

If you wear soft contact lenses do not use the drops with your lenses in. After using the drops wait 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.

 

If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

 

 


Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects although not everybody gets them.

 

You can usually carry on using the drops, unless the effects are serious. If you are worried, talk to a doctor or pharmacist. Do not stop using DuoTrav without speaking to your doctor.

يُعد عقار دوتراف محلول قطرة للعين مزيجًا من مادتين فعَّالتين (ترافوبروست وتيمولول). يُعتبر ترافوبروست نظيرًا للبروستاجلاندين، ويعمل على زيادة تدفق الخلط المائي من العين، مما يُؤدي إلى خفض الضَّغط بها. تيمولول هو حاصر لمستقبلات بيتا، ويعمل على تقليل إنتاج السائل داخل العين. تعمل المادتان معًا على خفض الضغط داخل العين.

 

يُستخدم عقار دوتراف قطرة للعين لعلاج ارتفاع ضغط العين لدى البالغين، بما في ذلك كبار السن. قد يُؤدي هذا الضغط إلى الإصابة بمرضٍ يُدعى الزَّرَق (الجلوكوما).

 

‌أ.         موانع استعمال عقار دوتراف

●       إذا كنت تعاني من حساسية تجاه ترافوبروست، أو البروستاجلاندينات، أو تيمولول، أو حاصرات بيتا أو أيٍّ من المكونات الأخرى بهذا الدَّواء (المدرجة في قسم: 6)

●       إذا كنت تُعاني حاليًا أو كنت قد عانيت في الماضي من مشاكل تنفسية مثل: الربو، أو التهاب الشُّعَب الهوائية الانسدادي المُزمِن الشديد (مرض رئوي شديد قد يُسبب أزيزًا بالصدر، أو صعوبة بالتنفُّس و/أو سُعالًا يستمر لفترات طويلة) أو أنواع أخرى من مشاكل التنفُّس.

●       إذا كنت تعاني من حمى القش الشديدة.

●       إذا كان لديك بطءٌ بضربات القلب أو كنت مُصابًا بفشل القلب أو بأحد اضطرابات النَّظْم القلبي (عدم انتظام ضربات القلب).

●       إذا كان سطح العين لديك معتمًا.

 

إذا انطبق عليك أيٌّ من هذه، فيُرجى استشارة طبيبك.

 

‌ب.     الاحتياطات عند استعمال عقار دوتراف

تحدَّث إلى طبيبك قبل استخدام عقار دوتراف إذا كنت تُعاني حاليًا أو قد عانيت في الماضي من أيٍّ من الآتي:

●       أمراض القلب التَّاجية (قد تشمل الأعراض: ألمًا أو ضيقًا بالصدر أو عُسْر التَّنَفُّس أو الشَّرَق [الاختناق])، أو فشل القلب، أو انخفاض ضغط الدَّم.

●       اضطرابات بمعدَّل ضربات القلب مثل بطء ضربات القلب.

●       مشاكل بالتَّنفس، أو ربو، أو مرض الانسداد الرئوي المزمن.

●       مرض ضعف الدَّورة الدَّموية (مثل: مرض رينود أو متلازمة رينود).

●       مرض السُّكَّرِي؛ (إذ قد يُخفي تيمولول علامات وأعراض انخفاض سُكَّر الدَّم).

●       فرط نشاط الغدة الدَّرقية؛ (إذ قد يُخفي تيمولول علامات وأعراض أمراض الغدة الدَّرقية).

●       الوهن العضلي الوبيل (ضعف عصبي عضلي مزمن).

●       إذا كنت قد أجريت جراحة لعلاج المياه البيضاء.

●       التهاب العين.

 

إذا كنت في حاجة لإجراء أي نوع من أنواع الجراحة، أخبر طبيبك بأنك تستخدم عقار دوتراف؛ إذ قد يُغيِّر تيمولول من تأثير بعض الأدوية المُستَخدمة أثناء التخدير. إذا أصبت بأي تفاعل حساسية شديد (طفح جلدي واحمرار وحكة بالعين) أثناء استخدام عقار دوتراف، أيًّا كان السبب، فقد لا يكون العلاج بالأدرينالين فعَّالًا كما ينبغي.

 

 لذلك، من المهم إخبار طبيبك بأنك تستخدم عقار دوتراف في حال كنت ستتلقى أي علاج آخر.

 

قد يُغير عقار دوتراف لون القُزَحِيَّة لديك (الجزء الملون في العين). قد يكون هذا التَّغيُّر دائمًا.

 

قد يزيد عقار دوتراف من طول، وسمك، ولون و/أو عدد الرموش لديك، وقد يُسبب نموًّا غير معتاد للشَّعر في الجفون.

 

قد يتم امتصاص ترافوبروست عبر الجلد ومن ثم لا يجب استخدامه من قِبَل السيدات الحوامل أو اللواتي تعتزمن الحمل. إذا لامس أي جزء من الدَّواء الجلد، فيجب غسله في الحال.

 

‌ج.      الأطفال

لا يجب استخدام عقار دوتراف من قِبَل الأطفال والمراهقين ممن تقل أعمارهم عن 18 عامًا.

 

‌د.        التداخلات الدَّوائية من استعمال عقار دوتراف مع أدوية أخرى أو أعشاب أو مكملات غذائية

أخبر طبيبك أو الصيدلي الخاص بك إذا كنت تتناول أو تناولت مؤخرًا أو قد تتناول أيَّة أدوية أخرى، بما في ذلك الأدوية التي تحصل عليها دون وصفة طبية.

 

يُمكِن لعقار دوتراف أن يُؤثر على الأدوية الأخرى التي تستخدمها أو يتأثر بها، بما في ذلك قطرات العين الأخرى التي تُستَخدَم لعلاج الزَّرَق (الجلوكوما). أخبِر طبيبك إذا كنت تستخدم أو تنوي استخدام أدوية لخفض ضغط الدَّم، أو أدوية القلب بما في ذلك كينيدين (يُستَخدَم لعلاج حالات قلبية وبعض أنواع الملاريا)، أو أدوية تُستخدم لعلاج مرض السُّكَّري أو مضادات الاكتئاب: فلوكسيتين أو باروكسيتين.

 

‌ه.        الحمل والرضاعة الطبيعية.

إذا كنتِ حاملًا أو مرضعًا، أو تعتقدين أنكِ قد تكونين حاملًا أو تخططين لذلك، فاستشيري طبيبكِ قبل استعمال هذا الدَّواء.

 

لا تستخدمي عقار دوتراف إذا كنتِ حاملًا، إِلَّا إذا اعتبر طبيبك ذلك ضروريًّا. وإذا كان من الممكن حدوث حمل، فيجب عليك استخدام وسيلة مناسبة لمنع الحمل أثناء استخدامك هذا الدَّواء.

 

لا تستخدمي عقار دوتراف إذا كنتِ مرضعًا، فقد يمر عقار دوتراف إلى لبن الأم.

 

‌و.       القيادة واستخدام الآلات

قد تجد أنَّ الرؤية لديك غير واضحة لفترة من الوقت بعد استخدام عقار دوتراف مباشرةً. قد يسبب عقار دوتراف أيضًا الهلوسة والدوخة والعصبية أو التعب لدى بعض المرضى. لا تمارس القيادة أو تستخدم الآلات حتى يزول هذا التَّأثير..

 

‌ز.       معلومات هامَّة عن بعض مكونات عقار دوتراف

يحتوي عقار دوتراف على زيت خروع مهدرج وبروبيلين الجليكول واللذين قد يُسببا تفاعلات جلدية وتهيجًا.

استخدم دائمًا هذا الدَّواء كما أخبرك طبيبك بالضبط. راجع طبيبك أو الصيدلي الخاص بك إذا لم تكن متأكدًا من طريقة الاستخدام.

 

الجرعة الموصى بها هي قطرة واحدة في العين المصابة أو العينين المصابتين، مرة واحدة يوميًّا، في الصباح أو في المساء. يُستخدم في نفس الوقت من كل يوم.

 

لا تستخدم عقار دوتراف في كلتا العينين إلا إذا أخبرك طبيبك بذلك.

 

لا تستخدم عقار دوتراف إلا كقطرةٍ للعين.

 

 

·                مزق الغلاف الخارجي (صورة 1) مباشرةً قبل استخدامك للزجاجة للمرة الأولى، أخرج الزجاجة واكتب تاريخ فتحها على الملصق في المساحة المخصصة لذلك.

·                احرص على أن تكون بحوذتك مرآة.

·                اغسل يديك.

·                أدر غطاء الزجاجة لفتحه.

·                أمسك الزجاجة بين إبهامك وأصابعك، بحيث يكون طرفها مُوجهًا للأسفل.

·                قم بإمالة رأسك إلى الخلف. اسحب جفنك السفلي لأسفل بإصبع نظيف، حتى يتكون "جيب" بين الجفن والعين لديك. سوف تضع القطرة في هذا الجيب (صورة 2).

·                قرِّب طرف الزجاجة إلى العين. استخدم المرآة إذا كان ذلك سيُساعدك.

·                لا تلمس عينك أو جفنك أو المناطق المحيطة بهما أو غيرهما من الأسطح بالقطارة. قد يلوث هذا القطرة.

·                اضغط برفق على الزجاجة لإخراج قطرة واحدة من عقار دوتراف في المرة الواحدة (الصورة 3). إذا لم تدخل إحدى القطرات عينك، أعد المحاولة مرة أخرى.

·                بعد استعمال عقار دوتراف، اضغط بإصبعك على زاوية عينك المجاورة لأنفك لمدة دقيقتين (الصورة 4). من شأن ذلك أن يُساعد على منع وصول عقار دوتراف إلى باقي الجسم.

·                إذا كان عليك استخدام عقار دوتراف في كلتا العينين، قم بتكرار نفس الخطوات الواردة أعلاه في العين الأخرى.

·                أغلق غطاء الزجاجة بإحكام بعد الاستخدام مباشرةً.

·                استخدم زجاجة واحدة فقط تلو الأخرى. لا تفتح غلاف الزجاجة إلا عندما تحتاج إلى استخدامها.

 

استخدم عقار دوتراف للمدة التي أخبرك بها طبيبك.

 

‌أ.         الجرعة الزَّائدة من عقار دوتراف

إذا استخدمت كمية أكثر مما يجب من عقار دوتراف، فقُم بشطفها كلها بالماء الدافئ. لا تضع المزيد من القطرات حتى حلول موعد جرعتك التَّالية المُعتادة.

 

‌ب.     نسيان استخدام جرعة من عقار دوتراف

إذا نسيت استخدام عقار دوتراف، فاستخدم الجرعة التَّالية في وقتها المحدد. لا تستخدم جرعة مضاعفة لتعويض الجرعة التي نسيتها. يجب أَلَّا تتجاوز الجرعة قطرة واحدة يوميًّا في العين (العينين) المُصابة (المصابتين).

 

‌ج.      التوقف عن استخدام عقار دوتراف

إذا توقفت عن استخدام عقار دوتراف دون التَّحدث إلى طبيبك فلن يتم ضبط الضغط داخل العين لديك، الأمر الذي يُمكن أن يؤدي إلى فقدان البصر.

 

إذا كنت تستخدم قطرات عين أخرى بالإضافة إلى قطرة دوتراف، فانتظر على الأقل 5 دقائق بين استعمال عقار دوتراف واستعمال القطرات الأخرى.

 

إذا كنت ترتدي عدسات لاصقة لينة، فلا تضع القطرات وأنت ترتدي العدسات. انتظر 15 دقيقة بعد استخدام القطرة قبل وضع عدساتك مرة أخرى.

 

إذا كانت لديك أية أسئلة إضافية حول استخدام هذا الدَّواء، فاستشر طبيبك أو الصيدلي الخاص بك.

 

 

مثله مثل كافة الأدوية، قد يُسبب هذا الدَّواء أعراضًا جانبية، على الرَّغم من عدم حدوثها لدى الجميع.

 

يُمكِنك عادةً الاستمرار في استخدام القطرة، ما لم تكن الأعراض خطيرة. إذا شعرت بالقلق، تحدَّث إلى أحد الأطباء أو الصيادلة. لا توقف استعمال عقار دوتراف دون التَّحدث إلى طبيبك.

 Read this leaflet carefully before you start using this product as it contains important information for you

DuoTrav 40 micrograms/mL + 5 mg/mL eye drops, solution

Each mL of solution contains 40 micrograms of travoprost and 5 mg of timolol (as timolol maleate). Excipient(s) with known effect Each mL of solution contains polyquaternium 1 (POLYQUAD) 10 microgram, propylene glycol 7.5 mg and polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil 40 1 mg (see section 4.4). For the full list of excipients, see section 6.1.

Eye drops, solution (eye drops). Clear, colourless solution.

DuoTrav is indicated in adults for the decrease of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical beta blockers or prostaglandin analogues (see section 5.1).

 


Posology

 

Use in adults, including the elderly

The dose is one drop of DuoTrav in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily, in the morning or evening. It should be administered at the same time each day.

 

If a dose is missed, treatment should be continued with the next dose as planned. The dose should not exceed one drop in the affected eye(s) daily.

 

Special populations

Hepatic and renal impairment

No studies have been conducted with DuoTrav or with timolol 5 mg/mL eye drops in patients with hepatic or renal impairment.

 

Travoprost has been studied in patients with mild to severe hepatic impairment and in patients with mild to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance as low as 14 mL/min). No dose adjustment was necessary in these patients.

 

Patients with hepatic or renal impairment are unlikely to require dose adjustment with DuoTrav (see section 5.2).

 

Paediatric population

The safety and efficacy of DuoTrav in children and adolescents below the age of 18 years have not been established. No data are available.

 

Method of administration

 

For ocular use.

 

The patient should remove the protective overwrap immediately prior to initial use. To prevent contamination of the dropper tip and solution, care must be taken not to touch the eyelids, surrounding areas or other surfaces with the dropper tip of the bottle.

 

When nasolacrimal occlusion is used or the eyelids are closed for 2 minutes, systemic absorption is reduced. This may result in a decrease in systemic side effects and an increase in local activity (see section 4.4).

 

If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the medicinal products must be administered at least 5 minutes apart (see section 4.5).

 

When substituting another ophthalmic antiglaucoma medicinal product with DuoTrav, the other medicinal product should be discontinued and DuoTrav should be started the following day.

 

Patients must be instructed to remove soft contact lenses prior to application of DuoTrav and wait 15 minutes after instillation of the dose before reinsertion (see section 4.4).


Hypersensitivity to the active substances, or to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1. Hypersensitivity to other beta blockers. Reactive airway disease including bronchial asthma, or a history of bronchial asthma, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Sinus bradycardia, sick sinus syndrome, including sino atrial block, second or third degree atrioventricular block not controlled with pacemaker. Overt cardiac failure, cardiogenic shock. Severe allergic rhinitis and corneal dystrophies.

Systemic effects

 

Like other topically applied ophthalmic agents, travoprost and timolol are absorbed systemically. Due to the beta‑adrenergic component, timolol, the same types of cardiovascular, pulmonary and other adverse reactions seen with systemic beta‑adrenergic blocking medicinal products may occur. The incidence of systemic ADRs after topical ophthalmic administration is lower than for systemic administration. For information on how to reduce systemic absorption, see section 4.2.

 

Cardiac disorders

 

In patients with cardiovascular diseases (e.g. coronary heart disease, Prinzmetal’s angina and cardiac failure) and hypotension, therapy with beta blockers should be critically assessed and therapy with other active substances should be considered. Patients with cardiovascular diseases should be watched for signs of deterioration of these diseases and of adverse reactions.

 

Due to their negative effect on conduction time, beta blockers should only be given with caution to patients with first‑degree heart block.

 

Vascular disorders

 

Patients with severe peripheral circulatory disturbance/disorders (i.e. severe forms of Raynaud’s disease or Raynaud’s syndrome) should be treated with caution.

 

Respiratory disorders

 

Respiratory reactions, including death due to bronchospasm in patients with asthma, have been reported following administration of some ophthalmic beta blockers.

 

DuoTrav should be used with caution in patients with mild/moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and only if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk.

 

Hypoglycaemia/diabetes

 

Beta blockers should be administered with caution in patients subject to spontaneous hypoglycaemia or in patients with labile diabetes, as beta blockers may mask the signs and symptoms of acute hypoglycaemia.

 

Muscle weakness

 

Beta‑adrenergic blocking medicinal products have been reported to potentiate muscle weakness consistent with certain myasthenic symptoms (e.g. diplopia, ptosis and generalised weakness).

 

Corneal diseases

 

Ophthalmic beta blockers may induce dryness of eyes. Patients with corneal diseases should be treated with caution.

 

Choroidal detachment

 

Choroidal detachment has been reported with administration of aqueous suppressant therapy (e.g. timolol, acetazolamide) after filtration procedures.

 

Other beta‑blocking agents

 

The effect on intra‑ocular pressure or the known effects of systemic beta blockade may be potentiated when timolol is given to patients already receiving a systemic beta‑blocking medicinal product. The response of these patients should be closely observed. The use of two topical beta‑adrenergic blocking agents is not recommended (see section 4.5).

 

Surgical anaesthesia

 

Beta‑blocking ophthalmological preparations may block systemic beta‑agonist effects, e.g. of adrenaline. The anaesthetist should be informed when the patient is receiving timolol.

 

Hyperthyroidism

 

Beta blockers may mask the signs of hyperthyroidism.

 

Skin contact

 

Prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogues are biologically active substances that may be absorbed through the skin. Women who are pregnant or attempting to become pregnant should exercise appropriate precautions to avoid direct exposure to the contents of the bottle. In the unlikely event of coming in contact with a substantial portion of the contents of the bottle, thoroughly cleanse the exposed area immediately.

 

Anaphylactic reactions

 

While taking beta blockers, patients with a history of atopy or a history of severe anaphylactic reaction to a variety of allergens may be more reactive to repeated challenge with such allergens and unresponsive to the usual dose of adrenaline used to treat anaphylactic reactions.

 

Concomitant therapy

 

Timolol may interact with other medicinal products (see section 4.5).

 

The use of two local prostaglandins is not recommended.

 

Ocular effects

 

Travoprost may gradually change the eye colour by increasing the number of melanosomes (pigment granules) in melanocytes. Before treatment is instituted, patients must be informed of the possibility of a permanent change in eye colour. Unilateral treatment can result in permanent heterochromia. The long‑term effects on the melanocytes and any consequences thereof are currently unknown. The change in iris colour occurs slowly and may not be noticeable for months to years. The change in eye colour has predominantly been seen in patients with mixed coloured irides, i.e. blue‑brown, grey‑brown, yellow‑brown and green‑brown; however, it has also been observed in patients with brown eyes. Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery in affected eyes, but the entire iris or parts of it may become more brownish. After discontinuation of therapy, no further increase in brown iris pigment has been observed.

 

In controlled clinical trials, periorbital and/or eyelid skin darkening in association with the use of travoprost has been reported.

 

Periorbital and lid changes, including deepening of the eyelid sulcus, have been observed with prostaglandin analogues.

 

Travoprost may gradually change eyelashes in the treated eye(s); these changes were observed in about half of the patients in clinical trials and include: increased length, thickness, pigmentation, and/or number of lashes. The mechanism of eyelash changes and their long‑term consequences are currently unknown.

 

Travoprost has been shown to cause slight enlargement of the palpebral fissure in studies in the monkey. However, this effect was not observed during the clinical trials and is considered to be species specific.

 

There is no experience of DuoTrav in inflammatory ocular conditions, nor in neovascular, angle‑closure, narrow‑angle or congenital glaucoma, and only limited experience in thyroid eye disease, in open‑angle glaucoma of pseudophakic patients and in pigmentary or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

 

Macular oedema has been reported during treatment with prostaglandin F2a analogues. Caution is recommended when using DuoTrav in aphakic patients, pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule or anterior chamber lenses, or in patients with known risk factors for cystoid macular oedema.

 

In patients with known predisposing risk factors for iritis/uveitis, and in patients with active intraocular inflammation, DuoTrav can be used with caution.

 

Excipients

 

DuoTrav contains propylene glycol which may cause skin irritation.

 

DuoTrav contains polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil 40 which may cause skin reactions.

 

Patients must be instructed to remove contact lenses prior to application of DuoTrav and wait 15 minutes after instillation of the dose before reinsertion (see section 4.2).


No specific drug interaction studies have been performed with travoprost or timolol.

 

There is a potential for additive effects resulting in hypotension and/or marked bradycardia when ophthalmic beta‑blocker solution is administered concomitantly with oral calcium channel blockers, beta‑adrenergic blocking agents, antiarrhythmics (including amiodarone), digitalis glycosides, parasympathomimetics or guanethidine.

 

The hypertensive reaction to sudden withdrawal of clonidine can be potentiated when taking beta blockers.

 

Potentiated systemic beta blockade (e.g. decreased heart rate, depression) has been reported during combined treatment with CYP2D6 inhibitors (e.g. quinidine, fluoxetine, paroxetine) and timolol.

 

Mydriasis resulting from concomitant use of ophthalmic beta blockers and adrenaline (epinephrine) has been reported occasionally.

 

Beta blockers may increase the hypoglycaemic effect of antidiabetic medicinal products. Beta blockers can mask the signs and symptoms of hypoglycaemia (see section 4.4).

 


Women of childbearing potential/contraception

 

DuoTrav must not be used in women of child-bearing age/potential unless adequate contraceptive measures are in place (see section 5.3).

 

Pregnancy

 

Travoprost has harmful pharmacological effects on pregnancy and/or the foetus/newborn child.

 

There are no or limited amount of data from the use of DuoTrav or the individual components in pregnant women. Timolol should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.

 

Epidemiological studies have not revealed malformative effects but show a risk for intrauterine growth retardation when beta blockers are administered by the oral route. In addition, signs and symptoms of beta blockade (e.g. bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory distress and hypoglycaemia) have been observed in the neonate when beta blockers have been administered until delivery. If DuoTrav is administered until delivery, the neonate should be carefully monitored during the first days of life.

 

DuoTrav should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary. For information on how to reduce systemic absorption, see section 4.2.

 

Breast‑feeding

 

It is unknown whether travoprost from eye drops is excreted in human breast milk. Animal studies have shown excretion of travoprost and metabolites in breast milk. Timolol is excreted in breast milk and has the potential to cause serious adverse reactions in the breast‑fed infant. However, at therapeutic doses of timolol in eye drops it is not likely that sufficient amounts would be present in breast milk to produce clinical symptoms of beta blockade in the infant. For information on how to reduce systemic absorption, see section 4.2.

 

The use of DuoTrav by breast‑feeding women is not recommended.

 

Fertility

 

There are no data on the effects of DuoTrav on human fertility. Animal studies showed no effect of travoprost on fertility at doses up to 75 times the maximum recommended human ocular dose, whereas no relevant effect of timolol was noted at this dose level.

 


DuoTrav has minor influence on the ability to drive and use machines. As with any eye drops, temporary blurred vision or other visual disturbances may occur. If blurred vision occurs at instillation, the patient must wait until the vision clears before driving or using machines. DuoTrav may also cause hallucinations, dizziness, nervousness and/or fatigue (see section 4.8) which may affect the ability to drive and use machines. Patients should be advised not to drive and use machines if these symptoms occur.


Summary of the safety profile

 

In clinical studies involving 2,170 patients treated with DuoTrav the most frequently reported treatment‑related adverse reaction was ocular hyperaemia (12.0%).

A topical overdose with DuoTrav is not likely to occur or to be associated with toxicity.

 

In case of accidental ingestion, symptoms of overdose from systemic beta blockade may include bradycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm and heart failure.

 

If overdose with DuoTrav occurs, treatment should be symptomatic and supportive. Timolol does not dialyse readily.


Pharmacotherapeutic group: Ophthalmologicals; Antiglaucoma preparations and miotics, ATC code: S01ED51.

 

Mechanism of action

 

DuoTrav contains two active substances: travoprost and timolol maleate. These two components lower intraocular pressure by complementary mechanisms of action and the combined effect results in additional IOP reduction compared to either compound alone.

 

Travoprost, a prostaglandin F analogue, is a full agonist which is highly selective and has a high affinity for the prostaglandin FP receptor, and reduces the intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour via trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways. Reduction of IOP in man starts within approximately 2 hours after administration and maximum effect is reached after 12 hours. Significant lowering of intraocular pressure can be maintained for periods exceeding 24 hours with a single dose.

 

Timolol is a non‑selective adrenergic blocking agent that has no intrinsic sympathomimetic, direct myocardial depressant or membrane‑stabilising activity. Tonography and fluorophotometry studies in man suggest that its predominant action is related to reduced aqueous humour formation and a slight increase in outflow facility.

 

Secondary pharmacology

 

Travoprost significantly increased optic nerve head blood flow in rabbits following 7 days of topical ocular administration (1.4 micrograms once daily).

 

Pharmacodynamic effects

 

Clinical effects

In a twelve‑month controlled clinical study in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and baseline mean IOP of 25 to 27 mmHg, the mean IOP‑lowering effect of DuoTrav dosed once daily in the morning was 8 to 10 mmHg. The non‑inferiority of DuoTrav as compared to latanoprost 50 micrograms/mL + timolol 5 mg/mL in the mean IOP reduction was demonstrated across all time‑points at all visits.

 

In a three‑month controlled clinical study in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and baseline mean IOP of 27 to 30 mmHg, the mean IOP‑lowering effect of DuoTrav dosed once daily in the morning was 9 to 12 mmHg, and was up to 2 mmHg greater than that of travoprost 40 micrograms/mL dosed once daily in the evening and 2 to 3 mmHg greater than that of timolol 5 mg/mL dosed twice daily. A statistically superior reduction in morning mean IOP (08:00, 24 hours after the last dose of DuoTrav) was observed compared to travoprost at all visits throughout the study.

 

In two three‑month controlled clinical studies in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and baseline mean IOP of 23 to 26 mmHg, the mean IOP‑lowering effect of DuoTrav dosed once daily in the morning was 7 to 9 mmHg. Mean IOP reductions were non‑inferior, although numerically lower, to those achieved by concomitant therapy with travoprost 40 micrograms/mL dosed once daily in the evening and timolol 5 mg/mL dosed once daily in the morning.

 

In a 6‑week controlled clinical study in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension and baseline mean IOP of 24 to 26 mmHg, the mean IOP‑lowering effect of DuoTrav (polyquaternium‑1‑preserved) dosed once daily in the morning was 8 mmHg and equivalent to that of DuoTrav (benzalkonium chloride‑preserved).

 

Inclusion criteria were common across the studies, with the exception of the IOP entry criteria and response to previous IOP therapy. The clinical development of DuoTrav included both patients naive and on therapy. Insufficient responsiveness to monotherapy was not an inclusion criterion.

 

Existing data suggest that evening dosing might have some advantages as regards mean IOP reduction. Consideration should be given to patient convenience and their likely compliance when recommending morning vs. evening dosing.

 


Absorption

 

Travoprost and timolol are absorbed through the cornea. Travoprost is a prodrug that undergoes rapid ester hydrolysis in the cornea to the active free acid. Following once‑daily administration of DuoTrav PQ in healthy subjects (N=22) for 5 days, travoprost free acid was not quantifiable in plasma samples from the majority of subjects (94.4%) and generally was not detectable one hour after dosing. When measurable (³0.01 ng/mL, the assay limit of quantitation), concentrations ranged from 0.01 to 0.03 ng/mL. The mean timolol steady‑state Cmax was 1.34 ng/ml and Tmax was approximately 0.69 hours after once‑daily administration of DuoTrav.

 

Distribution

 

Travoprost free acid can be measured in the aqueous humour during the first few hours in animals and in human plasma only during the first hour after ocular administration of DuoTrav. Timolol can be measured in human aqueous humour after ocular administration of timolol and in plasma for up to 12 hours after ocular administration of DuoTrav.

 

Biotransformation

 

Metabolism is the major route of elimination of both travoprost and the active free acid. The systemic metabolic pathways parallel those of endogenous prostaglandin F2a which are characterised by reduction of the 13‑14 double bond, oxidation of the 15‑hydroxyl and b‑oxidative cleavages of the upper side chain.

 

Timolol is metabolised by two pathways. One route yields an ethanolamine side chain on the thiadiazole ring and the other gives an ethanolic side chain on the morpholine nitrogen and a second similar side chain with a carbonyl group adjacent to the nitrogen. The plasma t1/2 of timolol is 4 hours after ocular administration of DuoTrav.

 

Elimination

 

Travoprost free acid and its metabolites are mainly excreted by the kidneys. Less than 2% of an ocular dose of travoprost was recovered in urine as free acid. Timolol and its metabolites are primarily excreted by the kidneys. Approximately 20% of a timolol dose is excreted in the urine unchanged and the remainder excreted in urine as metabolites.

 


In monkeys, administration of DuoTrav twice daily was shown to induce increased palpebral fissure and to increase iris pigmentation similar to that observed with ocular administration of prostanoids.

 

DuoTrav preserved with polyquaternium‑1 induced minimal ocular surface toxicity, compared to eye drops preserved with benzalkonium chloride, on cultured human corneal cells and following topical ocular administration in rabbits.

 

Travoprost

 

Topical ocular administration of travoprost to monkeys at concentrations of up to 0.012% to the right eye, twice daily for one year resulted in no systemic toxicity.

 

Reproduction toxicity studies with travoprost have been undertaken in rats, mice and rabbits using the systemic route. Findings are related to FP receptor agonist activity in uterus with early embryolethality, post‑implantation loss and foetotoxicity. In pregnant rats, systemic administration of travoprost at doses more than 200 times the clinical dose during the period of organogenesis resulted in an increased incidence of malformations. Low levels of radioactivity were measured in amniotic fluid and foetal tissues of pregnant rats administered 3H‑travoprost. Reproduction and development studies have demonstrated a potent effect on foetal loss with a high rate observed in rats and mice (180 pg/mL and 30 pg/mL plasma, respectively) at exposures 1.2 to 6 times the clinical exposure (up to 25 pg/mL).

 

Timolol

 

Non‑clinical data revealed no special hazard for humans with timolol based on conventional studies of safety pharmacology, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenic potential. Reproduction toxicity studies with timolol showed delayed foetal ossification in rats with no adverse effects on postnatal development (7000 times the clinical dose) and increased foetal resorptions in rabbits (14000 times the clinical dose).
