The primary use of Benzalkonium Chloride + Timolol + Travoprost is to lower high pressure inside the eye in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It belongs to the group of medications known as beta-blockers and prostaglandin analogs.
This combination of medications helps prevent further optic nerve damage and vision loss associated with these conditions.

Benzalkonium Chloride + Timolol + Travoprost is a combination eye drop solution used for ocular conditions.
Timolol is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the production of fluid in the eyes, thus helping decrease intraocular pressure.
Travoprost is a prostaglandin analog, which aids in increasing the outflow of fluid from the eyes, further lowering the IOP.
Benzalkonium Chloride acts as a preservative in this combination, helping prevent bacterial growth in the eye drop container.
