Xalacom 0.005% Eye Drop 2.5ml

Xalacom 0.005% Eye Drop is a combination eye medication, bringing together latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, and timolol, a beta-blocker, in a single once-daily formulation. If you're starting this eye drop for the first time, you're probably wondering how it fits into your daily routine — it's used just once a day, typically in the evening, making it fairly simple compared to some other eye drop regimens. Some people experience mild effects such as a stinging or burning sensation, eye irritation, or a feeling of something in the eye, particularly right after application. It's meant to be used consistently at the same time each day, and because it contains a beta-blocker, it can have effects beyond the eye, so it's worth being aware of your broader health picture. It's worth having a thorough discussion with your doctor about your medical history, particularly around asthma, heart conditions, or slow heart rate, before starting this medicine.

The recommended dose is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, and this should not be exceeded. If you miss a dose, simply continue with your next scheduled dose at the usual time. Do not apply a double dose to make up for a missed application.

Store unopened bottles in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C, protected from direct light. Once opened, the bottle may be stored at room temperature (up to 25°C) away from light and should be discarded 10 weeks after first opening. Keep the bottle out of the reach of children.

• Use Xalacom 0.005% Eye Drop at the same time each day, preferably in the evening.
• Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
• Allow at least 5 minutes between Xalacom and any other eye medications.

• Store unopened bottles in the refrigerator. Once opened, keep the bottle at room temperature, away from direct light.

Wash your hands before use, tilt your head back, and gently instill one drop into the affected eye(s), avoiding contact between the dropper tip and your eye or any other surface. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. If you're using other eye medications, allow at least 5 minutes between each medication and Xalacom to ensure proper absorption.

Xalacom 0.005% Eye Drop generally has a shelf life of around 2 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the bottle and outer packaging before use. Once opened, the bottle should generally be used within 10 weeks and then discarded, even if some solution remains.

• Latanoprost – A prostaglandin analogue that helps increase the outflow of fluid from the eye.
• Timolol Maleate – A beta-blocker that helps reduce fluid production within the eye.

• Known hypersensitivity to latanoprost, timolol, or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Reactive airway disease, including current or previous asthma, or severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Sinus bradycardia (slow heart rate), heart block, or overt cardiac failure
• Cardiogenic shock
• Not recommended during pregnancy unless advised by your doctor
• Use with caution while breastfeeding, as both active ingredients may pass into breast milk in small amounts

Because timolol is a beta-blocker, using Xalacom 0.005% Eye Drop alongside oral beta-blockers, certain heart medications, or calcium channel blockers may increase the risk of a slow heart rate or low blood pressure. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines you are taking, including prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, supplements, and other eye drops. If you are using additional topical eye medications, allow at least 5 minutes between each application.
