Xalatan eye drops are used to treat high eye pressure, especially in patients with glaucoma. They help reduce pressure inside the eye by increasing the drainage of aqueous humor, which reduces the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss. Xalatan contains latanoprost, an active ingredient that belongs to the prostaglandin group. It works to improve the natural flow of fluid inside the eye, leading to a balance in internal pressure. Xalatan eye drops are used once daily in the evening, according to the doctor's instructions. Hands should be washed well before use and the tip of the dropper should not touch the eye to ensure the solution is clean and to achieve maximum benefit.
Xalatan should be used regularly and followed up periodically with a doctor to maintain eye health and improve the condition continuously.
