Xalatan contains the active ingredient latanoprost. It is a prescription eye medication used to lower high pressure inside the eye.

Open-Angle Glaucoma

Xalatan is commonly used to treat open-angle glaucoma.

Glaucoma can damage the optic nerve, often because pressure inside the eye becomes too high.

Lowering eye pressure can help reduce the risk of further optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Ocular Hypertension

Xalatan may also be used for ocular hypertension, which means the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal but there may not yet be signs of glaucoma-related damage.

How Xalatan Works

Xalatan belongs to a group of medications called prostaglandin analogs.

It works by helping fluid inside the eye, called aqueous humor, drain more easily.

This lowers pressure inside the eye.

Important Note

Xalatan helps control high eye pressure, but it does not cure glaucoma.

Use it regularly as prescribed, even if your vision seems normal, because high eye pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.

Xalatan is an eye drop used to lower pressure inside the eye.

The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes once daily in the evening.

Do not use Xalatan more than once a day unless your healthcare provider specifically tells you to. Using it more often can make it less effective at lowering eye pressure.

Use Xalatan at the Same Time Each Day

Try to use Xalatan at about the same time every evening.

Using it regularly helps keep your eye pressure under control, even if you do not notice any symptoms.

Do not stop using Xalatan without speaking with your healthcare provider.

How to Apply Xalatan Eye Drops

  1. Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
  2. Remove the cap from the bottle.
  3. Tilt your head back and look upward.
  4. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
  5. Hold the bottle above your eye and place one drop into the pocket.
  6. Do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface.
  7. Close your eye gently after applying the drop.
  8. You may gently press the inner corner of your eye near your nose for about 1 minute to reduce drainage into the tear duct.
  9. If both eyes are being treated, repeat the steps for the other eye.
  10. Replace the cap after use.

Contact Lenses

Remove contact lenses before using Xalatan.

Wait at least 15 minutes after applying the eye drops before putting your contact lenses back in.

Xalatan contains benzalkonium chloride, which can be absorbed by contact lenses.

Using Other Eye Medications

If you use other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between Xalatan and the other eye medication.

If you use both eye drops and an eye ointment, eye drops are generally used first unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

What to Do If You Miss a Dose

If you miss a dose of Xalatan, skip the missed dose and use your next dose at the usual time.

Do not use extra drops to make up for the missed dose.

Keep the Bottle Clean

Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye or any other surface.

This can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop significant eye redness, pain, discharge, swelling, or sudden changes in vision.

Xalatan: Eye drops

  • 0.005%

 Changes in Eye Color

Xalatan can gradually darken the color of the iris, which is the colored part of your eye.

This change may develop slowly over months or years and may be permanent.

The change is usually caused by an increase in brown pigment in the iris. If you use Xalatan in only one eye, the two eyes may eventually look different in color.

Darkening of the Eyelid Skin

Xalatan may also darken the skin around the eye or on the eyelid.

Unlike iris color changes, eyelid skin darkening may improve after the medication is stopped.

Eyelash Changes

Xalatan can gradually change the eyelashes in the treated eye.

You may notice:

  • Longer eyelashes
  • Thicker eyelashes
  • Darker eyelashes
  • More eyelashes
  • Changes in the direction of eyelash growth

These changes are usually reversible after Xalatan is stopped.

Eye Irritation and Blurred Vision

Xalatan may cause:

  • Burning or stinging
  • Eye redness
  • Itching
  • A feeling that something is in the eye
  • Blurred vision
  • Eye discomfort

These effects are often mild, but contact your healthcare provider if they become severe or persistent.

Eye Inflammation

Tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of eye inflammation, such as iritis or uveitis.

Xalatan can sometimes worsen inflammation inside the eye and is generally avoided when active inflammation is present.

Macular Edema

Rarely, Xalatan may cause macular edema, which is swelling in the central part of the retina.

The risk may be higher if you:

  • Do not have a natural lens in the eye
  • Have an artificial lens with damage to the lens capsule
  • Have other risk factors for macular edema

Contact your healthcare provider if you notice new blurred, distorted, or reduced central vision.

Herpes Eye Infection

Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had herpes simplex keratitis, a herpes infection of the cornea.

Xalatan may reactivate this infection.

It should generally be avoided if you currently have active herpes simplex keratitis.

Keep the Bottle Tip Clean

Do not let the bottle tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or another surface.

Contamination of multidose eye-drop bottles has been linked to serious eye infections such as bacterial keratitis.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Xalatan if you are allergic to latanoprost, benzalkonium chloride, or another ingredient in the product.

Seek medical attention if you develop severe swelling, hives, difficulty breathing, or another serious allergic reaction.

Contact Lenses

Xalatan contains benzalkonium chloride, which can be absorbed by soft contact lenses.

Remove your contact lenses before using Xalatan and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Your healthcare provider will consider the expected benefits and potential risks before recommending Xalatan.

Use in Children

Xalatan can be used in pediatric patients when prescribed by an eye-care professional.

The appropriate treatment and monitoring will depend on the child’s age, eye condition, and response to therapy.

When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider

Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe eye pain, significant redness, sudden changes in vision, swelling, discharge, or signs of an eye infection.

Continue using Xalatan as prescribed unless your healthcare provider tells you to stop.

How often should I use Xalatan?

Xalatan is usually used once daily in the evening. Use one drop in the affected eye or eyes at about the same time each day. Do not use Xalatan more than once daily unless your healthcare provider tells you to, because using it more often can reduce its pressure-lowering effect.

Can Xalatan be used in children?

Yes. Xalatan can be used in children when prescribed by an eye-care professional. The dose and monitoring will depend on the child’s age, eye condition, and response to treatment.

How long does it take for Xalatan to work?

Xalatan usually begins lowering eye pressure within about 3 to 4 hours after a dose. The strongest pressure-lowering effect is usually reached within about 8 to 12 hours. You may not feel any difference because high eye pressure often does not cause noticeable symptoms.

How should Xalatan be stored?

Before opening, Xalatan is generally stored in the refrigerator and protected from light. After opening, the bottle may usually be kept at room temperature for a limited period, according to the product instructions. Keep the bottle tightly closed and protect it from excessive heat and light.

Can I use Xalatan with contact lenses?

Yes, but remove your contact lenses before using Xalatan. Wait at least 15 minutes after applying the eye drops before putting your lenses back in. This is because Xalatan contains benzalkonium chloride, which can be absorbed by soft contact lenses.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Xalatan?

If you miss a dose, skip it and use your next dose at the regular scheduled time. Do not use extra drops or take two doses to make up for the missed one.
