WHAT XALACOM IS USED FOR
Reduction of intraocular pressure (lOP)
in patients with open angle glaucoma and
ocular hypertension who are
insufficiently responsive to topical beta-
blockers.
XALACOM is used to reduce the
pressure in your eye if you have
conditions known as open angle
glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Both
these conditions are linked to an increase
in the pressure within your eye,
eventually affecting your eyesight. Your
doctor will usually prescribe you
XALACOM when other medicines have
not worked adequately.
HOW XALACOM WORKS
XALACOM contains two medicines:
latanoprost and timolol. Latanoprost
belongs to a group of medicines known
as prostaglandin analogues. Timolol
belongs to a group of medicines known
as beta-blockers. Latanoprost works by
increasing the natural outflow of fluid
from the eye into the bloodstream.
Timolol works by slowing the formation
of fluid in the eye.
BEFORE YOU USE XALACOM
XALACOM can be used in adult men
and women (including the elderly), but is
not recommended for use if you are less
than 18 years of age.

_When you must not use it_

- if you have now or have had in the
past respiratory problems such as
asthma, severe chronic obstructive
bronchitis (severe lung disease which
may cause wheeziness, difficulty in
breathing and/or long-standing
cough)
- if you have serious heart problems or
heart rhythm disorders
