4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Adults (including the elderly): _
Recommended therapy is one eye drop in the affected eye(s) once daily.
Optimal effect is obtained if
Xalatan is administered in the evening.
The dosage of Xalatan should not exceed once daily since it has been
shown that more frequent
administration decreases the intraocular pressure lowering effect.
If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as
normal.
Method of administration
As with any eye drops, to reduce possible systemic absorption, it is
recommended that the
lachrymal sac be compressed at the medial canthus (punctal occlusion)
for one minute. This
should be performed immediately following the instillation of each
drop.

the medicinal products should be
administered at least five minutes apart.
