Directions for Use of Tovaxo Eye Drops 2.5ml

Here's how you should use Tovaxo Eye Drops:

Always wash your hands before using the eye drops.
Tilt your head back and create a small pocket by pulling down your lower eyelid.
Hold the dropper above your eye, squeeze out the prescribed amount of drops, and let it fall into the pocket you created.
Gently close your eyes for a minute or two. Avoid blinking during this time.
Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface as this could contaminate the medicine.
After putting it in, always replace and tighten the cap on the dropper bottle.
If you are using more than one eye medicine, wait at least 5 minutes before putting in another product.
Use the solution within one month after opening the vial.

For any specific instructions regarding usage or if you experience any discomfort, consult your doctor.

Tovaxo Eye Drops may have the following common side effects:

Eye irritation
Eye pain
Eye redness: This refers to a condition known as hyperemia, where your eyes may appear more bloodshot than usual.
Changes in eyelash characteristics: This could mean your eyelashes might grow longer, thicker, or increase in number.
Increased iris pigmentation: You may notice a darkening of the colour of your iris, which is the coloured part of your eye.
Eyelid skin darkening: This can result in changes to the colour of the skin around your eyes.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Tovaxo Eye Drops. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Tovaxo Eye Drops contain travoprost (0.004%), which works on your body in the following ways:

Increases Aqueous Humour Outflow: Travoprost enhances the drainage of aqueous humour, a fluid that maintains normal pressure inside your eyes. By doing so, it helps reduce high intraocular pressure.
Acts as FP Prostanoid Receptor Agonist: As a prostaglandin analogue, travoprost acts on certain receptors in your eyes known as FP prostanoid receptors. This action helps in relieving elevated intraocular pressure.
