Biotrav-T (Travoprost and Timolol Maleate) Ophthalmic Solution
Description
Biotrav-T (Travoprost and Timolol Maleate) Ophthalmic Solution is a prescription eye drop used to manage elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It combines two medications—travoprost (a prostaglandin analog) and timolol maleate (a non-selective beta-blocker)—to reduce IOP through complementary mechanisms.
