Xalanol Eye Drop is a fixed-dose ophthalmic combination containing Latanoprost 0.005% and Timolol 0.5%, formulated for the effective management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By combining two well-established antiglaucoma agents with complementary mechanisms of action, Xalanol Eye Drop provides enhanced IOP reduction compared to monotherapy, helping to protect the optic nerve and preserve vision.

Composition

• Latanoprost: 0.005%

• Timolol: 0.5%

• Dosage form: Sterile ophthalmic solution

• Route of administration: Topical (eye drop)

Mechanism of Action

Xalanol Eye Drop works through a dual mechanism to effectively lower intraocular pressure. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2α analogue, increases the outflow of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral pathway, resulting in sustained reduction of IOP. Timolol, a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker, decreases aqueous humor production by inhibiting beta receptors in the ciliary body. The combined action provides additive pressure-lowering effects, making this combination especially useful in patients who do not achieve adequate IOP control with a single agent.

Indications

Xalanol Eye Drop is indicated for:

• Open-angle glaucoma

• Ocular hypertension

• Patients requiring combination therapy for better intraocular pressure control

• Reduction of elevated IOP to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss

Dosage and Administration

Xalanol Eye Drop should be used exactly as prescribed by an ophthalmologist. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Patients should avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface to prevent contamination. If other ophthalmic medications are being used, they should be administered at least 5 minutes apart.

Contact lens wearers are advised to remove lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinsertion.

Benefits and Key Features

• Dual-action formula for enhanced IOP reduction

• Once-daily dosing improves patient compliance

• Effective in patients inadequately controlled on monotherapy

• Helps protect the optic nerve and preserve visual function

• Convenient fixed-dose combination reduces medication burden

• Proven efficacy in long-term glaucoma management

Safety and Precautions

Xalanol Eye Drop is generally well tolerated when used as directed. Possible side effects include eye irritation, redness, blurred vision, eyelash changes, darkening of the iris or eyelid skin, and dry eyes. Due to the presence of Timolol, systemic beta-blocker effects such as bradycardia or bronchospasm may occur in susceptible individuals.

Caution is advised in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiac disorders, or diabetes. Xalanol Eye Drop should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation. Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be based on medical advice.

Patients should inform their healthcare provider about all existing medical conditions and medications before starting treatment.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children.
