Ocular hypertension is an increase in ocular pressure caused by inadequate aqueous humor outflow (fluid in the eye that maintains normal pressure by its continuous flow).

Xiatra Eye Drops contains Travoprost, a prostaglandin analogue that reduces elevated ocular pressure by enhancing the outflow of aqueous fluid.

The most common side effects of Xiatra Eye Drops include decreased visual acuity, eye discomfort, foreign body sensation, pain and pruritus (itching) in some situations. The majority of side effects do not require medical treatment and fade away with time. However, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.

Uses of Xiatra Eye Drops

Xiatra Eye Drops is used in the treatment of ocular hypertension, glaucoma. The detailed uses of Xiatra Eye Drops are as follows:

  • Treatment of Glaucoma: Xiatra Eye Drops helps to treat glaucoma by lowering eye pressure, preventing gradual vision loss, and reducing the risk of optic nerve damage.
  • Treatment of Ocular Hypertension: Xiatra Eye Drops effectively reduces elevated eye pressure by enhancing the outflow of natural eye fluids, thereby helping to prevent potential complications.

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use. • Lie down and tilt your head backwards.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Xiatra Eye Drops is a well-known medication for open-angle glaucoma that effectively reduces excessive pressure by inhibiting prostaglandin action in the eye.
  • Prostaglandin is a naturally occurring chemical that contributes to eye dryness.
  • The intraocular pressure (the pressure built inside the eyeball) is naturally maintained by a normally flowing liquid known as aqueous humour.
  • If this outflow of liquid gets blocked, then aqueous pressure starts putting more pressure within the eyeball. Excessive pressure must be managed; otherwise, it can damage the optic nerve and impair vision.
  • Xiatra Eye Drops functions as a synthetic prostaglandin that works similarly to natural ones by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour inside the eyeball, resulting in a decrease in intraocular pressure.
