Indications & Clinical Uses

Jokath, a combination beta‑blocker and prostaglandin analog, is indicated for conditions that require reduction of intraocular pressure.

  • Primary open‑angle glaucoma: lowers intraocular pressure to help prevent optic nerve damage.
  • Ocular hypertension: reduces intraocular pressure to lower the risk of progression to glaucoma.
  • Post‑surgical ocular pressure control: maintains target pressure after glaucoma surgery.

How It Works

  • Timolol non‑selectively blocks beta‑adrenergic receptors in the ciliary body, decreasing aqueous humor production. Travoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analog that binds FP receptors, enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. The combined actions result in a greater reduction of intraocular pressure than either agent alone.

Side Effects

Jokath may cause ocular and systemic adverse reactions. Patients should be advised to report any new symptoms.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye irritation or burning sensation.
  • Blurred vision.
  • Redness of the eye.
  • Dry eye or foreign‑body sensation.
  • Itching of the eyelids.
  • Temporary visual disturbances.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., swelling, rash, difficulty breathing).
  • Worsening of glaucoma or sudden loss of vision.
  • Macular edema.
  • Chest pain or bradycardia due to systemic beta‑blockade.
  • Bronchospasm in patients with asthma.
  • Persistent eye pain or inflammation.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing Jokath, clinicians should consider patient‑specific factors and monitor for adverse events.

  • Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate for bradycardia or heart block before use.
  • Respiratory status: avoid in patients with severe asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
  • Contact lens wear: advise patients to remove lenses before instillation and wait before reinserting.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: use only if potential benefit justifies potential risk.
  • Concomitant ocular drugs: assess for additive pressure‑lowering effects.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct light.

Avoid Interactions

Jokath can interact with systemic and ocular medications; careful review is recommended.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Systemic non‑selective beta‑blockers (e.g., propranolol): may cause excessive bradycardia or hypotension.
  • Calcium channel blockers: increased risk of cardiac conduction abnormalities.
  • Other ocular beta‑blockers: additive reduction of intraocular pressure may lead to hypotony.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical NSAIDs: may increase risk of corneal irritation.
  • Anticholinergic eye drops: monitor for reduced efficacy of pressure control.
  • Systemic CYP2D6 inhibitors: may modestly raise timolol plasma levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jokath is an ophthalmic eye‑drop formulation that combines timolol and travoprost to lower intraocular pressure. It is prescribed for adults with primary open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension to help prevent optic nerve damage and preserve visual function.

Timolol blocks beta‑adrenergic receptors in the eye, reducing the production of aqueous humor. Travoprost activates prostaglandin F2α receptors, increasing uveoscleral outflow of fluid. Together, they provide a complementary mechanism that more effectively lowers intraocular pressure than either agent alone.

The dosing regimen for Jokath is determined by the prescribing ophthalmologist based on the patient’s condition and response. Typically, one drop is instilled in the affected eye(s) once daily, but the exact schedule should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety data for Jokath in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss alternatives with their healthcare provider.

To request Jokath, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.

Jokath combines a beta‑blocker (timolol) with a prostaglandin analog (travoprost), offering dual mechanisms of pressure reduction. Compared with single‑agent drops, this combination can achieve greater intraocular pressure lowering, potentially reducing the need for multiple separate medications and improving adherence.

Jokath should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and avoid freezing. Do not use the product if the solution appears discolored or contains particles.

Jokath is applied as an eye drop. The patient should wash their hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and instill one drop into the conjunctival sac of each prescribed eye. Close the eye gently for a few seconds and avoid blinking excessively.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions, worsening of glaucoma leading to vision loss, macular edema, systemic effects such as bradycardia, chest pain, or bronchospasm, especially in patients with underlying cardiac or respiratory disease. Any sudden visual changes or systemic symptoms should prompt immediate medical evaluation.

Jokath is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to timolol, travoprost, or any excipients in the formulation. It should also be avoided in individuals with severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, sinus bradycardia, second‑ or third‑degree heart block, or those taking systemic non‑selective beta‑blockers without medical supervision.
