1. What is Xiop and what is it used for
Xiop contains latanoprost and belongs to a group of medicines known as prostaglandin analogues. It works by increasing the natural flow of fluid from the inside of the eye into the bloodstream.
Xiop is used to treat conditions known as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Both conditions are related to an increase in pressure inside the eye, which can affect vision.
Xiop is also used to treat increased pressure inside the eye and glaucoma in children and babies of all ages.
2. What you need to know before you start using Xiop
Xiop can be used in adult men and women (including elderly patients) and in children from birth to 18 years of age. It has not been investigated in premature infants (less than 36 weeks of gestation).
Do not use Xiop
- if you are allergic to latanoprost or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The following side effects have been observed with the use of latanoprost:
Very common:may affect more than 1 in 10 patients
- Gradual change in eye color due to an increase in the amount of brown pigment in the colored part of the eye known as the iris. If you have mixed-color eyes (blue-brown, gray-brown, yellow-brown, or green-brown), you are more likely to experience this change than if your eyes are a single color (blue, gray, green, or brown). The change in eye color takes years to develop, although it can usually be seen after 8 months of treatment. The change in eye color may be permanent and may be more noticeable if Xiop is used in only one eye. The change in eye color does not seem to be associated with any problems. The change in eye color does not continue once treatment with Xiop has been stopped.
- Redness of the eye.
- Ocular irritation (burning sensation, feeling of grit in the eye, itching, stinging, or foreign body sensation in the eye). If you experience severe ocular irritation that makes your eyes water excessively, or makes you consider stopping treatment, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse as soon as possible (within a week). You may need to have your treatment reviewed to ensure you are receiving the appropriate treatment for your condition.
- Gradual change in the eyelashes of the treated eye and the fine hair around the treated eye, usually observed in patients of Japanese origin. These changes include an increase in color (darkening), length, thickness, and number of eyelashes.
Common:may affect up to 1 in 10 patients
- Irritation or alteration of the eye surface, inflammation of the eyelids (blepharitis), and eye pain and sensitivity to light (photophobia), conjunctivitis.
Uncommon:may affect up to 1 in 100 patients
