Xalatan Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Latanoprost
Xalatan Indications, Dosage, Storage, Stability - Latanoprost
INDICATIONS
Latanoprost is indicated for the reduction
of elevated intraocular
pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma
and ocular hypertension
who are intolerant of other intraocular
pressure lowering medications
or insufficiently responsive (failed to achieve target
IOP determined after multiple
measurements over time) to another intraocular
pressure lowering medication.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The recommended dosage
is 1 drop (1.5 mcg)
in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
The dosage of latanoprost
should not exceed once daily since it has been shown that more frequent
administration
may decrease the intraocular pressure lowering effect.
Reduction of the intraocular
pressure starts approximately
3-4 hours after administration
and the maximum effect
is reached after 8-12 hours.
Latanoprost may be used concomitantly with other topical
ophthalmic drug products to lower intraocular
pressure. If more than one topical
ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered
at least 5 minutes apart.
HOW SUPPLIED
Xalatan sterile ophthalmic
solution is a clear,
isotonic, buffered, preserved, colorless, solution
of latanoprost 0.005% (50 mcg/ml).
Storage: Protect from light. Store unopened bottle
under refrigeration at 2-8°C (36-46°F).
Once opened the container
may be stored at room temperature
up to 25°C (77°F) for 6 weeks.
