Table of contents:

Xalatan is a brand name for the drug latanoprost, which medication is used to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma or other eye diseases.

The active ingredient in Xalatan Preservative Free is latanoprost, which works by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eye, thereby reducing the pressure inside the eye. Lowering high pressure inside the eye helps to prevent blindness.

Use and Dosage

Xalatan Preservative Free is a preservative-free formulation of latanoprost and is available as an ophthalmic solution that is applied to the affected eye(s) once daily, usually in the evening.

To use Xalatan Preservative Free, follow the instructions provided by your doctor or other qualified healthcare provider. The recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, usually in the evening. The solution should be used immediately after opening the single-use container and should not be reused or shared with others. If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using Xalatan Preservative Free Single Dose Containers and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose, and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use more than one drop per day, as using more than the recommended dose may not increase the effectiveness of the medication and can increase the risk of side effects.
