LATANOPROST SANDOZ EYE DROPS 0.005% 1. NAME OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT LATANOPROST SANDOZ EYE DROPS 0.005% 2. QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION 1 ml Latanoprost contains 50 microgram of latanoprost (equivalent to 0.005% w/v). One drop contains approximately 1.5 micrograms latanoprost. Excipient: 1 ml contains 0.2 mg Benzalkonium chloride and is included as a preservative (equivalent to 0.02% w/v). For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1. 3. PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Eye drops, solution. Appearance: colourless solution. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in paediatric patients with elevated intraocular pressure and paediatric glaucoma. 4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION For ocular use. Recommended dosage for adults (including the elderly): Recommended therapy is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Optimal effect is obtained if Latanoprost is administered in the evening. The dosage of latanoprost 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. 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. Contact lenses should be removed before instillation of the eye drops and may be reinserted after 15 minutes. If more than one topical ophthalmic agent is being used, the agents should be administered at least five minutes apart. Patients should be informed of the correct handling of Latanoprost eye drops solution. Please see section 6.6 Instructions for use/handling. Paediatric population: Latanoprost eye drops may be used in paediatric patients at the same posology as in ad ults. No data are availabl Soma hati kamili
