CompareCompareLatanoprost eye drops are a treatment for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in adults. The active ingredient, latanoprost, is a prostaglandin analogue that works by increasing the natural outflow of fluid from inside the eye into the bloodstream. This action lowers intraocular pressure, which helps to prevent vision loss associated with these conditions. Latanoprost eye drops is also used to treat increased eye pressure and glaucoma in all age groups of children and babies. The safety and efficacy of latanoprost have been well established in clinical trials, and it is now the most commonly prescribed treatment for glaucoma. If you have been diagnosed with either open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, ask your doctor if latanoprost eye drops could be right for you.
Latanoprost Eye Drops is also known as Xalatan Eye Drops
Latanoprost can be used in adult men and women (including the elderly) and in children from birth to 18
years of age. Latanoprost has not been investigated in prematurely born infants (less than 36 weeks gestation).
Do not use Latanoprost:
• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to latanoprost or any of the other ingredients of this medicine
• If you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant
• If you are breast feeding
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or the doctor treating your child or your pharmacist before using Latanoprost or before you give this to your child if you think any of the following apply to you or your child:
• If you or your child are about to have or have had eye surgery (including cataract surgery)
• If you or your child suffer from eye problems (such as eye pain, irritation or inflammation, blurred vision)
• If you or your child suffers from dry eyes
• If you or your child have severe asthma or the asthma is not well controlled
• If you or your child wear contact lenses. You can still use Latanoprost, but follow the instruction for contact lens wearers in section 3
• If you have suffered or are currently suffering from a viral infection of the eye caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV)
Other medicines and Latanoprost
Latanoprost may interact with other medicines. Tell your doctor, the doctor treating your child or your pharmacist if you or your child are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Do not use Latanoprost during pregnancy or when breast-feeding. If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.
Driving and using machines
When you use Latanoprost you might have blurred vision, for a short time.
If this happens to you, do not drive or use any tools or machines until your vision becomes clear again.
Latanoprost contains Benzalkonium Chloride
Latanoprost contains a preservative called benzalkonium chloride.
Benzalkonium chloride may be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may change the colour of the
contact lenses. You should remove contact lenses before using this medicine and put them back 15
minutes afterwards. See the instructions for contact lens wearers in section 3.
Benzalkonium chloride may also cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eyes or disorders of the
cornea (the clear layer at the front of the eye). If you feel abnormal eye sensation,
stinging or pain in the eye after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
Glaucoma is a common eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, becomes damaged.
It’s usually caused by fluid building up in the front part of the eye, which increases pressure inside the eye.
Glaucoma can lead to loss of vision if it’s not diagnosed and treated early.
It can affect people of all ages, but is most common in adults in their 70s and 80s.
Glaucoma does not usually cause any symptoms to begin with.
It tends to develop slowly over many years and affects the edges of your vision (peripheral vision) first.
For this reason, many people do not realise they have glaucoma, and it’s often only picked up during a routine eye test.
If you do notice any symptoms, they might include blurred vision, or seeing rainbow-coloured circles around bright lights.
Both eyes are usually affected, although it may be worse in 1 eye.
Very occasionally, glaucoma can develop suddenly and cause:
Visit an opticians or a GP if you have any concerns about your vision.
If you have glaucoma, early diagnosis and treatment can help stop your vision getting worse.
Without treatment, glaucoma can eventually lead to blindness.
If you develop symptoms of glaucoma suddenly, go to your nearest eye casualty unit or A&E as soon as possible.
This is a medical emergency that may require immediate treatment.
There are several different types of glaucoma.
The most common is called primary open angle glaucoma. This tends to develop slowly over many years.
It’s caused by the drainage channels in the eye becoming gradually clogged over time.
Other types of glaucoma include:
Glaucoma can occur for a number of reasons.
Most cases are caused by a build-up of pressure in the eye when fluid is unable to drain properly.
This increase in pressure then damages the nerve that connects the eye to the brain (optic nerve).
It’s often unclear why this happens, although certain things can increase the risk, including:
It’s not clear whether you can do anything to prevent glaucoma, but having regular eye tests should pick it up as early as possible.
Glaucoma can usually be detected during a routine eye test at an opticians, often before it causes any noticeable symptoms.
The tests are carried out in the opticians by an optometrist.
You should have a routine eye test at least every 2 years.
Find out if you’re eligible for free NHS eye tests
Several quick and painless tests can be carried out to check for glaucoma, including vision tests and measurements of the pressure inside your eye.
If tests suggest you have glaucoma, you should be referred to a specialist eye doctor (ophthalmologist) to discuss treatment.
It’s not possible to reverse any loss of vision that occurred before glaucoma was diagnosed, but treatment can help stop your vision getting worse.
The treatment recommended for you will depend on the type of glaucoma you have, but the options are:
You’ll also probably need regular appointments to monitor your condition and check the treatment is working.

Product Information
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The following are known side effects of using Latanoprost eye drops:
Very common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people):
• A gradual change in your eye colour by increasing the amount of brown pigment in the coloured
part of the eye known as the iris. If you have mixed-colour eyes (blue-brown, grey-brown, yellowbrown or green-brown) you are more likely to see this change than if you have eyes of one colour
(blue, grey, green or brown eyes). Any changes in your eye colour may take years to develop
although it is normally seen within 8 months of treatment. The colour change may be permanent and
may be more noticeable if you use Latanoprost in only one eye. There appears to be no problems
associated with the change in eye colour. The eye colour change does not continue after Latanoprost
treatment is stopped.
• Redness of the eye.
• Eye irritation (a feeling of burning, grittiness, itching, stinging or the sensation of a foreign body in
the eye).
• A gradual change to eyelashes of the treated eye and the fine hairs around the treated eye, seen
mostly in people of Japanese origin. These changes involve an increase of the colour (darkening),
length, thickness and number of your eye lashes.

• Irritation or disruption to the surface of the eye (punctate keratitis), eyelid inflammation (blepharitis),
eye pain and light sensitivity (photophobia) conjunctivitis.

blurred vision, inflammation of the coloured part of the eye (uveitis), swelling of the retina (Macular
oedema) .
• Skin rash.

Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1,000 people):
• Inflammation of the iris (iritis), symptoms of swelling or scratching/damage to the surface of the
eye, swelling around the eye (periorbital oedema) misdirected eyelashes or an extra row of
eyelashes, scarring of the surface of the eye, fluid filled area within the coloured part of the eye (iris
cyst).
• Skin reactions on the eyelids, darkening of the skin of the eyelids.
• Worsening of asthma .
• Severe itching of the skin
• Developing a viral infection of the eye caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Very rare (may affect up to 1 in 10,000 people):
• Worsening of angina in patients who also have heart disease, sunken eye appearance (eye sulcus
deepening).
Side effects seen more often in children compared to adults are runny itchy nose and fever.
In very rare cases, some patients with severe damage to the clear layer at the front of the eye (the cornea)
have developed cloudy patches on the cornea due to calcium build-up during treatment.

Our vet had written a 6 month prescription for Xalatan Latanoprost eye drops They are expensive to buy from a vet and my cat has to have them for the rest of his life. I noticed that Dock Pharmacy had an offer for alternative make but identical product. My cat has been having these drops every day for a month without any adverse affects. I’m really pleased with the product and cost saving.
