Xalacom Eye Drop 2.5ml

Description

Xalacom Eye Drop 2.5Ml is a combination eye drop solution used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure inside the eye). Each bottle contains 2.5 milliliters of the solution.

Xalacom contains two active ingredients: latanoprost and timolol. Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analogue that works by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye. Timolol is a beta-blocker that works by reducing the production of fluid within the eye. By combining these two mechanisms, Xalacom helps to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) more effectively than either medication used alone.

Xalacom eye drops are prescribed to:

• Reduce elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
• Lower intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension who are considered at risk of developing glaucoma.

This combination therapy simplifies the treatment regimen for some patients who require both a prostaglandin analogue and a beta-blocker to manage their eye pressure.

Xalacom Eye Drop 2.5Ml is a combination medication containing latanoprost and timolol, used to effectively lower intraocular pressure in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Directions for use: Always use Xalacom eye drops exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. If you use other eye medications, you should administer them at least 5 minutes apart from Xalacom. Wash your hands before using the eye drops. Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper above the eye and squeeze one drop into the pocket. Close your eye gently and press your finger against the inner corner of your eye for about one minute to help prevent the medication from draining away. If a drop misses your eye, try again. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Xalacom and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Do not allow the tip of the dropper to touch your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.

Important Information: Xalacom is a prescription medication. Inform your doctor if you have any allergies to latanoprost, timolol, or any other ingredients in the eye drops. Disclose your medical history, particularly if you have a history of respiratory problems (such as asthma or COPD), heart problems, low blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or kidney or liver disease. Xalacom may cause gradual changes to your eyelashes and the color of the iris (the colored part of your eye), which may be permanent. Inform your doctor if you develop any new eye conditions, such as an eye injury or eye infection, or if you are planning to have eye surgery. Inform your doctor about all other medications you are using, including other eye drops and systemic medications, as interactions can occur. If you experience eye irritation, pain, redness, blurred vision, or any other unusual symptoms, contact your doctor. Keep out of reach of children.
