How to use
Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution should be used exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist. Correct application helps the medicine work effectively while reducing the risk of contamination or accidental misuse. Wash your hands: Wash and dry your hands thoroughly before handling the eye-drop bottle. Check the bottle: Confirm the medicine is within its expiry date and the bottle or packaging is not damaged. Prepare the eye: Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Apply the drop: Hold the bottle above your eye without allowing the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelashes, eyelids, or surrounding skin. Instill the prescribed number of drops. Close the eye: Gently close your eye after applying the drop. Avoid blinking excessively or squeezing your eyelids tightly. Press the inner corner: If advised by your healthcare professional, gently press the corner of your eye near the nose for about 1–2 minutes to help reduce drainage into the nose and bloodstream. Use at the prescribed time: Latanoprost is commonly administered once daily, often in the evening, but follow the schedule specifically provided by your doctor. Using other eye drops: If you use other ophthalmic medicines, allow at least 5 minutes between different eye drops unless your doctor gives different instructions. After application: Wipe away excess liquid with a clean tissue if necessary and replace the cap securely. Missed dose: If you miss a dose, follow your doctor's instructions. Do not use extra drops to compensate for a missed dose.
