    I have been using there for a few years.The only side effect I get is high potsssium

    and eyelash growth. 

    Because of the high potassium they have operated on my eyes and put in tubes.

    I no longer need the eyedrops.

    I have  5unopened  bottles of  Travoprost 0.004%

    anyone need them?

      Actually My Glaucome was out of control and I was on 4 different eye drops a  day. This caused my high potassium and apparently the drops were not working.

      They did the operation about 8 years ago and it lasted for about 6 years,

      I was back on the drops and the high potassium started again. So they cleaned out the valves and now I hope to be off the drops again for at least another 5 years.

      My pressure stays around 8    no drops.
