Latanoprost/Timolol is a combination eye drop that contains two medicines working together to reduce pressure inside the eye. Latanoprost helps fluid drain out of the eye more easily, while Timolol reduces the amount of fluid the eye produces — together they lower eye pressure better than either one alone.
Prescription Required
You need a doctor's prescription to buy this drug.
Explore this drug
Put one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Gently close your eye after putting in the drop and press lightly on the inner corner of your eye (near your nose) for about one minute — this helps the medicine stay in the eye and reduces side effects. Do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye or anything else.
If you forget a dose, just put in one drop as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Never put in two drops to make up for a missed dose.
Only buy from registered pharmacies — do not purchase eye drops from roadside vendors or open markets, as fake or expired products can damage your eyes. Do not share your eye drops with anyone else, even if they have similar eye problems. If you notice your eye colour changing or your eyelashes growing unevenly, inform your eye doctor — this is a known effect of the medicine and not necessarily dangerous, but your doctor should know.
Beta-blocker tablets (like atenolol or propranolol used for blood pressure or heart problems) — using them together with this eye drop can cause your heart rate and blood pressure to drop too low. Other eye drops — wait at least 5 minutes between different eye drops so they don't wash each other out. Calcium channel blockers like amlodipine may increase the blood pressure-lowering effect when combined with this medicine.
