Lacoma Eye Drop

Lacoma Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop containing latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog used to lower pressure inside the eye. Each drop delivers latanoprost as labeled for this product, and the medicine is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing eye pressure, Lacoma Eye Drop helps protect the optic nerve from damage over time. It is made by Ajanta Pharma, India, and comes in a strip/box of 10 eye drops.

How it works: Latanoprost works by helping fluid drain out of the eye more easily, which lowers pressure inside the eye. Because Lacoma Eye Drop is applied directly to the eye, it acts locally where pressure reduction is needed.

This as-labeled Lacoma Eye Drop is a standard-strength latanoprost eye drop for people whose eye doctor has already assessed the need for prescription pressure-lowering treatment. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Lacoma listed here, this product represents the brand’s single available eye-drop option and is chosen for once-daily glaucoma or ocular hypertension treatment rather than for rapid, as-needed relief. A doctor may prefer latanoprost eye drops when a long-acting decrease in eye pressure is needed and consistency matters more than quick symptom relief.

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Lowering elevated eye pressure
• Long-term eye pressure control
• Reducing risk of optic nerve damage

• Use Lacoma Eye Drop exactly as your eye doctor prescribes; do not use extra drops to try to work faster.
• Wash your hands before use and avoid letting the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, place 1 drop in the affected eye, then close your eye gently for 1 minute.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products.
• Use it at the same time each day, commonly in the evening, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Lacoma Eye Drop contains latanoprost as labeled for this eye-drop product, and the usual regimen is 1 drop in the affected eye or eyes once daily. Do not use it more often than once per day unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so, because extra doses can reduce its effect. Your eye doctor decides the exact treatment plan based on your eye pressure and response to therapy.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Latanoprost may include:

• Eye redness
• Eye irritation or burning after instillation
• Blurred vision right after using the drop
• Mild eye pain or stinging
• Increased eyelash growth
• Darkening of the iris or eyelid skin with continued use
• More likely irritation if the drop is used too often

• Do not use Lacoma Eye Drop more than once daily unless your doctor tells you to, because overuse can lessen pressure control.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of eye inflammation, herpes eye infection, or have had eye surgery.
• This medicine can gradually darken the iris, eyelids, or eyelashes; the change may be permanent.
• If you use contact lenses, remove them before dosing and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.
• Do not use the drop if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy, unless the label or pharmacist says it is normal.
• Use caution when driving or using machinery right after dosing if your vision is blurred.
• Tell your doctor about all other eye drops you use, especially other glaucoma medicines.

• Other glaucoma eye drops may need to be spaced apart and should be reviewed by your doctor.
• Preservative-containing contact lens use can interact with proper dosing timing, so lenses should be removed before use.
• Using more than one prostaglandin eye drop together may reduce benefit or increase side effects.
• Any prescription or over-the-counter eye medication should be checked for compatibility before use.

Store Lacoma Eye Drop at room temperature in its original packaging and keep it tightly closed and away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
