1.
WHAT TIMLATAN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Timlatan 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.
Timlatan 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 Timlatan when
other medicines have not worked adequately.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE TIMLATAN
Timlatan 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 TIMLATAN:

if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to either of the medicines
(latanoprost or timolol), beta-
blockers, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (

Reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle
glaucoma and ocular hypertension who are insufficiently
responsive to topical beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues.
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.
If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as
planned. The dose should not exceed one drop in the
affected eye(s) daily.
_Paediatric population_
Safety and effectiveness in children and adolescents has not been

Method of administration:
Contact lenses should be removed before instillation of the eye drops
and may be reinserted after 15 minutes (see section 4.4).
If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs
should be administered at least five minutes apart.
When using nasolacrimal occlusion or closing the eyelids for 2
minutes, the systemic absorption is reduced. This may result in a
decrease in systemic side effects and an increase in local activity.
