XALATAN is an eyedrop that lowers pressure in the eye. You don't usually feel eye pressure, but if it is too high, it can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss. XALATAN is your partner in the fight against high eye pressure which can lead to glaucoma.
Indication
XALATAN is for the treatment of high eye pressure/intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Important Safety Information
Like all medicines, XALATAN can have side effects. These side effects are usually mild and tolerable and may include blurred vision, burning and stinging, eye redness, the feeling of something in the eye, eye itching, increased pigmentation (darkening) of eye color, or irritation of the clear front surface of the eye.
XALATAN may slowly cause darkening of the eye color due to increased brown color, darkening of the eyelid and eyelashes, and increased growth and thickness of eyelashes. Color changes can increase as long as XALATAN is administered and eye color changes are likely to be permanent.
The recommended dosage is one drop (1.5 ?g) in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as normal.
There have been reports of bacterial keratitis associated with the use of multiple-dose containers of topical ophthalmic products.
