What medicines can be prescribed in place of travatan for glaucoma?

Many: Travatan is a generally effective prostaglandin inhibitor. If it does not work well, or allergy is developed to it, other prostaglandin inhibitors are available. However there are drops that act on the sympathetic system inside the eye and on the tear production parts of the eye, and on the drains of the eye. Any of these may be added or substituted for travatan when it is ineffective.

Many: there are several other drops in the same class as travatan. Two are generic (latanoprost and transports) as well as zioptan, lumigan and rescula. There are then 4 other classes of eye drop medications that can be used -beta blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, alpha adrenergics and parasympathetics. Beyond eye drops there is a laser as well.

Options: There are several classes of medications to consider for the treatment. Depending on your health, other than the prostaglandin analogue class(travatan, others), alpha agonists(brimonidine), beta antagonists(timolol, others), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (dorzolamide, others), parasympathomimetics(pilocarpine, others), & hyperosmotics(not used by patient).
