Introduction: Many patients with glaucoma require multiple medications for adequate disease control. This review summarizes the efficacy and safety of the travoprost/timolol fixed combination in lowering intraocular pressure in eyes with glaucoma. Areas covered: Phase III and IV evaluations of travoprost/timolol are reviewed, including trials comparing the fixed combination with constituents, with unfixed concomitant therapy and with other unfixed and fixed combinations of glaucoma medications. The safety of travoprost/timolol is also reviewed. Expert opinion: The role of fixed-combination drugs, including travoprost/timolol, in the management of glaucoma is discussed. Unmet needs in glaucoma therapy, including long-acting drug delivery systems and therapies that treat glaucoma via mechanisms other than reduction of intraocular pressure, are also presented.
