How this medicine works
The DailyMed label describes XALATAN as a prostaglandin F2α analogue for reducing elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. This explains a class and labelled-use boundary; it does not determine anyone's cause of eye pressure, suitability, drop count, combination or switching plan.

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS
After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check
What this page can show
This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.
What to bring to the next conversation
Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PUBLIC LABEL IMAGE
Appearance and package-text clues
This current public-label package panel helps check the brand, generic name, strength and dosage-form clues only. It does not authenticate a product in hand or establish originator status, availability, sale eligibility, another package or another market.
Open the public label source ↗LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION
XALATAN label reading: 0.005%, 50 mcg/mL and 2.5 mL are different identity fields
Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.
This module uses the U.S. DailyMed public label to check XALATAN, latanoprost, 0.005%/50 mcg/mL, a 2.5 mL bottle and ophthalmic use. It does not provide an individual's drop count, timing, missed-use handling, combination, switching or eye-pressure-management plan.
- 0.005% and 50 mcg/mL are two label formats for the concentration of this eye-drop solution; 2.5 mL is the stated bottle volume. They help identify the exact product, not calculate how many drops anyone should use, how long it lasts or whether to make up use.
- Eye drops cannot be self-combined, alternated or substituted merely because they mention glaucoma, eye pressure or eye drops. This label has specific checks involving other prostaglandin eye products, other drops and contact lenses; have an ophthalmologist or pharmacist review the actual bottles and complete eye/systemic medicine list.
- A dropper bottle, cap, volume and label image only help identify a source. They cannot authenticate a product, show that it is another latanoprost presentation or confirm current storage and handling requirements. Opening, storage, spacing from another eye drop, contact lenses and missed-use questions must follow the current label and professional instructions for the exact product in hand.
- The label includes warnings about iris, periocular tissue/eyelash changes, intraocular inflammation, macular oedema and infection. With vision change, marked eye pain, redness/swelling, injury or another acute eye concern, use local ophthalmic or urgent-care pathways promptly; this page does not decide self-continuation, pause or switching.
PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES
Check safety information in the right market
Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.
Match five details before using a safety record
- Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
- Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
- Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
- Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
- Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.
This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

Six checks for this medicine pack
Use this card to organise questions about Xalatan (latanoprost). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.
Identify the exact product
Xalatan is the brand in this record and latanoprost is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Ophthalmic solution: 0.005% (50 mcg/mL); this dossier precisely displays NDC 58151-419-35, 125 mcg/2.5 mL and one 2.5 mL bottle) and the market on the actual pack.
Read the labelled strength in context
A percentage, mg/mL or pack volume describes the labelled eye-product identity. It is not an individual drop count, frequency or after-opening instruction.
Check the exact eye product
For an eye product, verify the exact concentration, bottle and current label. Do not transfer liquid between containers or treat a similar name as proof that products are interchangeable.
Put every product on one list
Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.
Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question
Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.
Know when to seek urgent help
For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.
This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN
How latanoprost works: the label classifies it as a prostaglandin F2α analogue
- “Prostaglandin F2α analogue” is a pharmacologic class, not a basis for deciding a need for treatment from symptoms, one pressure reading or eye-drop appearance. Glaucoma and ocular-hypertension assessment still requires an eye examination, the current label and professional judgement.
- A shared prostaglandin-related eye-product class does not make XALATAN self-combinable, alternatable, substitutable or concentration-convertible with another related drop. The complete eye/systemic medicine list, actual products, prior eye reactions and examination plan need professional review together.
- A mechanism page cannot turn “lowers eye pressure” into personal management for blurred vision, pain, redness, before/after procedures or sudden vision change. With an acute or serious eye concern, prioritise local ophthalmic and urgent medical support rather than self-adjusting from this page.

How to read this record
Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.
Keep international and mainland China records separate
This page has a U.S. public history/regulatory archive but no mainland China record for this specific product. That does not establish whether the medicine exists, is approved or is available in mainland China. Verify product identity, dosage form, strength, holder and the current label item by item.
RECORD FAQ
Record questions
Does a label archive represent current product information?
Not automatically. The archive locates a source; each point needs verification against the target market’s current official label.
Why are price and originator/generic conclusions not shown?
Those conclusions require separately complete and human-reviewed product, dosage-form, strength, pack, market, date and primary-record fields; one label file is insufficient.
