Xalacom Eye Drop (Latanoprost/Timolol) x2.5ml

Xalacom Eye Drop is an innovative ophthalmic solution that combines two potent medications, latanoprost and timolol, in a single formulation, offering a comprehensive approach to managing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Uses

Xalacom Eye Drop is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who require additional IOP-lowering beyond monotherapy. By combining two distinct mechanisms of action, Xalacom effectively lowers IOP, helps to preserve visual function, and prevents further optic nerve damage associated with these conditions.

Benefits

• Combines the benefits of two proven IOP-lowering agents in a single formulation
• Convenient once-daily dosing for improved patient compliance
• May provide greater IOP reduction compared to monotherapy
• Reduces the need for multiple eye drop administrations
• Well-tolerated with a favorable safety profile

How It Works

 Xalacom employs a dual mechanism of action to lower intraocular pressure effectively. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, increases the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye by enhancing the uveoscleral pathway. Timolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, reduces the production of aqueous humor by inhibiting the activity of the ciliary body. Together, these two complementary mechanisms work synergistically to lower IOP.

Dosage

The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.

Warning

Xalacom should be used with caution in patients with certain cardiovascular or respiratory conditions, as timolol can cause bradycardia, arrhythmia, or bronchospasm. Consult an eye care professional before use if you have any underlying medical conditions, are pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Important Information

 Consistent use of Xalacom as directed by an eye care professional is essential for optimal IOP control and glaucoma management. Patients should follow recommended follow-up visits to monitor intraocular pressure and overall eye health. If any adverse reactions occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately.
