Hi,
Brief Answer: Yes MS is a possibility that you are experiencing a side effect of this drug.
Detailed answer:This combination product contains two medications: travoprost and timolol. Travoprost - timolol is used to reduce the pressure inside the eye for people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension (increased pressure in the eye) who do not have a complete response to treatment with only one medication.
Undesirable effects on the skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders are:
(Uncommon)-dermatitis contact, hypertrichosis
(Rare)-urticaria, skin discolouration, alopecia, skin
hyperpigmentation (periocular)
(Not known)-Rash
I advice you not to stop using this medication without consulting your doctor.
