Xelpros Information

Xelpros (Latanoprost) is a prescription ophthalmic solution that reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It works by increasing fluid outflow from the eye, which helps lower the pressure inside the eye. Elevated intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for glaucoma. If untreated, this condition can lead to optic nerve damage and permanent vision loss. Xelpros is a prostaglandin analog. Its active ingredient, latanoprost, acts on the receptors in the eye that regulate fluid production and drainage. It reduces intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor (fluid inside the eye). Your doctor may prescribe Xelpros as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for managing glaucoma or ocular hypertension. When used as directed, it does not cure glaucoma but helps control the condition and prevent further vision loss.

Xelpros Side Effects:

As with any medication, Xelpros may cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:
• Blurred vision;
• Darkened eye color;
• Eyelash thickening;
• Feeling like something is in your eye;
• Increased sensitivity to life;
• Stinging, burning, or redness in the eyes;
• Watery, itchy, or puffy eyes

These side effects are typically mild and may resolve with continued medication use. However, there are rare but serious side effects that require immediate medical attention, including:
• Changes in vision, such as blurred vision or sudden vision loss;
• Eye pain or persistent eye discomfort;
• Severe or ongoing burning, stinging, or irritation;
• Signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, rash, or itching around the eyes

If you experience severe side effects, discontinue using Xelpros and immediately contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Xelpros Directions:

Follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or those indicated on the product label. The typical directions for use are as follows
1. Wash your hands thoroughly before applying the drops.
2. Shake the bottle gently before use.
3. Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
4. Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening.
5. Close your eye gently and blink a few times to spread the medication evenly across the eye's surface.

Use Xelpros precisely as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use more than the recommended dose. Overusing the medication may increase the risk of side effects and not provide additional benefits. Remove contact lenses before applying Xelpros. Please wait 15 minutes before reinserting them. If you use other eye drops or medications, wait at least 5 minutes between applications.

Do not touch the dropper tip on any surface, including your eye, to avoid contamination. Store Xelpros at room temperature (15-25°C) and keep it tightly closed when not in use. Keep the medication out of the reach of children.

• Eye surgery or injury affecting the lens of your eye;
• Herpes infection of the eyes;
• Retinal detachment;
• Swelling or an infection in your eye

Xelpros may interact with other medications, so inform your healthcare provider about any other treatments you are using, including over-the-counter products, especially other eye medications.
