Contents of the pack and other information
1. WHAT XALCOM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Xalcom 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.
Xalcom 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 Xalcom
when other medicines have not worked adequately.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE XALCOM
Xalcom 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.
DO NOT USE XALCOM

if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to either of the medicines in
Xalcom (latanoprost or timolol),
beta-blockers, or any of the other ingredients of Xalcom (listed in
section 6)
