XALATAN SUMMARY

Xalatan®
latanoprost ophthalmic solution
0.005% (50 µg/mL)

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2(alpha) analogue. Latanoprost is a prostanoid selective FP receptor agonist that is believed to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor.

XALATAN Sterile Ophthalmic Solution is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
