Contents of the pack and other information 1. WHAT LATANOPROST/TIMOLOL ZENTIVA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR Latanoprost/Timolol Zentiva 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. Latanoprost/Timolol Zentiva 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 Latanoprost/Timolol Zentiva when other medicines have not worked adequately. 2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE LATANOPROST/TIMOLOL ZENTIVA Latanoprost/Timolol Zentiva 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.
