Registration Number (Malaysia): MAL20030016AZ
Content
Each mL contains latanoprost (prostaglandin analogue), timolol maleate (beta-blocker), benzalkonium chloride (preservative), and other inactive ingredients.
Indications
-
Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to other topical IOP-lowering agents
-
Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, increases the outflow of aqueous humor, while Timolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, decreases aqueous humor production
-
The combined effect results in additional IOP reduction compared to either compound administered alone

Dosage: Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening
-
Administration:
-
Remove contact lenses before instillation and wait at least 15 minutes before reinsertion
-
If using multiple topical ophthalmic medications, administer them at least five minutes apart
-
To reduce systemic absorption, apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of the eye (punctal occlusion) for about one minute after instillation
