Latocom Eye Drops is a combination of two medicines: Timolol and Latanoprost. Timolol is a beta blocker while Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analogue. They work by decreasing the production of aqueous humour (fluid in the eye), thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Latocom Eye Drops helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. After applying Latocom Eye Drops, close your eyes and place one finger at the corner of your eye. Apply gentle pressure for 1 to 2 minutes before opening your eyes. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
