Xalatan Eye Drops and Latanoprost at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Xalatan Eye Drops, manufactured by Pfizer, is available in many countries worldwide, including Canada.

Generic latanoprost is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Latanoprost:

Generic latanoprost contains the same active ingredient as the brand-name Xalatan Eye Drops. It is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards as the brand-name product. This means it is designed to work in the same way as Xalatan Eye Drops. Studies have demonstrated bioequivalence between generic and brand-name latanoprost, meaning they have comparable absorption rates and overall effects. However, individual responses to any medication can vary. If you have any questions about using generic latanoprost, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, please refer to Access to Generic Drugs in Canada | Canada.ca

Dosage:

Xalatan and generic latanoprost eye drops are both available as ophthalmic solutions containing 0.005% latanoprost, typically packaged in a 2.5 mL bottle.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Xalatan Eye Drops (latanoprost) is a prescription medication used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. IOP is a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than usual. Lowering IOP is crucial to prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision.

Mechanism of Action:
Xalatan Eye Drops (latanoprost) is a prostaglandin F2α analogue. It increases the drainage of fluid inside the eye (aqueous humour) to reduce pressure in the eye.

Use Xalatan Eye Drops exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Highlights of Prescribing Information | Pfizer. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
