Paediatric population: The efficacy and safety of TRAVATAN eye drops in patients below the age of 18 years have not been established and its use is not recommended in these patients until further data become available.
Hepatic and renal impairment: TRAVATAN eye drops has been studied in patients with mild to severe hepatic impairment and in patients with mild to severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance as low as 14 ml/min). No dosage adjustment is necessary in these patients.

When substituting another ophthalmic anti-glaucoma agent with TRAVATAN eye drops, the other agent should be discontinued and TRAVATAN eye drops should be started the following day.
If more than 1 topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, the medicinal products must be administered at least 5 minutes apart.
The patient should remove the protective overwrap immediately prior to initial use.
To prevent contamination of the dropper tip and solution, care must be taken not to touch the eyelids surrounding areas or other surfaces with the dropper tip of the bottle.
