DuoTrav Eye Drops are used to lower pressure in the eye and to treat glaucoma. Glaucoma
is a condition in which the pressure of the fluid in the eye may be high. However,
some people with glaucoma may have normal eye pressure. Also, some people with raised
eye pressure may not have glaucoma.
DuoTrav Eye Drops contain two active ingredients, travoprost and timolol, that lower
the pressure in the eye. Travoprost belongs to a family of medicines known as 'prostaglandins'.
Timolol belongs to a family of medicines known as 'beta-blockers'.
DuoTrav Eye Drops lower the pressure within the eye by two processes. They improve
the flow of fluid from your eye(s) (travoprost) and decrease the production of fluid
(timolol). Although DuoTrav Eye Drops help to control your glaucoma they do not cure
it.
Before prescribing DuoTrav Eye Drops for you, your doctor will have examined the eye
and decided that DuoTrav Eye Drops is the right medicine.
Your doctor may have prescribed DuoTrav Eye Drops for another reason. Ask your doctor
if you have any questions about why DuoTrav Eye Drops have been prescribed for you.
DuoTrav Eye Drops are not addictive.

DUROGESIC is used for the long-term management of pain that is severe enough to require
daily around-the-clock pain relievers, when other treatment options are not able to
effectively manage your pain or you cannot tolerate them. DUROGESIC is only used in
people who have previously been using other opioid-based pain relief. DUROGESIC is
not used to treat pain that you only have once in a while.
DUROGESIC patches contain a medicine called fentanyl. This strong pain reliever belongs
to a group of medicines known as opioid analgesics. Fentanyl relieves pain by blocking
the nerves that recognise pain messages from the body.
Each patch is applied onto the skin every three days (72 hours). The patch releases
a continuous amount of fentanyl that is absorbed through the skin in contact with
the patch.
Ask your doctor if you have any questions about why this medicine has been prescribed
for you.
Do not use if you have ever had an allergic reaction to phentermine or any of the
