Latanoprost + Timolol: Uses, Side Effects & Brands in Pakistan

Latanoprost + Timolol is a combination eye drop for glaucoma. It is a prescription medicine used for glaucoma and high eye pressure. In Pakistan it is available as drops, made by 3 different manufacturers. On this page you can read how it works, its common side effects and precautions, and compare the brands and prices available at Medimart.

How Latanoprost + Timolol works

Latanoprost and timolol lower eye pressure in two different ways. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, helps fluid drain out of the eye more easily. Timolol, a beta-blocker, reduces the amount of fluid the eye produces. Together they lower pressure more than either medicine alone.

What is Latanoprost + Timolol used for?

• Glaucoma and high eye pressure

Latanoprost + Timolol eye drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. They are usually prescribed when a single type of drop has not brought the pressure down enough, and having both medicines in one bottle makes treatment simpler. Lowering eye pressure helps protect the optic nerve and preserve sight over the long term.

Side effects of Latanoprost + Timolol

Latanoprost + Timolol is usually well tolerated, but some people notice:

• Eye redness or irritation
• Stinging or burning after use
• Gradual darkening of eye colour
• Longer, thicker eyelashes
• Blurred vision
• Dry eyes

Stop using the drops and seek medical advice urgently if you have wheezing or breathlessness, a very slow heartbeat, fainting, or sudden eye pain, swelling or loss of vision.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, COPD, a slow heartbeat, heart block or heart failure, as timolol can be absorbed into the body.
• Pressing gently on the inner corner of the eye for a minute after putting in a drop reduces how much reaches the bloodstream.
• Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• Use it every day as prescribed and keep regular eye pressure checks, because glaucoma usually causes no symptoms until sight is damaged.
• If you use other eye drops, leave a gap of several minutes between them, and speak to your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
