1. What is Visiotan and what is it used for
Visiotan belongs to a group of medications known as prostaglandin analogs. It works by increasing the natural drainage of fluid from the inside of the eye into the bloodstream.
Visiotan is used to treat certain diseases known asopen-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in adults. Both diseases are related to an increase in pressure within the eye, which can potentially affect vision.
Visiotan is also used to treat increased pressure within the eye and glaucoma in children and infants of all ages.
2. What you need to know before starting to use Visiotan
Visiotan can be used in adult men and women (including elderly people) and in children from birth to 18 years of age. Visiotan has not been studied in premature children (less than 36 weeks of gestation).
Do not use Visiotan
- If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to latanoprost or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor, or the doctor treating your child, or pharmacist before using Visiotan or before giving it to your child if you consider that any of the following situations affect you or your child:
- If you or your child have undergone or are going to undergo eye surgery (including cataract surgery).
- If you or your child have eye problems (such as eye pain, irritation, or inflammation, blurred vision).
- If you or your child have dry eyes.
- If you or your child have severe asthma or asthma that is not well controlled.
- If you or your child use contact lenses. You may continue to use Visiotan, but you must follow the instructions included in section 3 for contact lens users.
- If you have suffered or are suffering from a viral eye infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Use of Visiotan with other medications
Visiotan may interact with other medications. Inform your doctor, the doctor treating your child, or pharmacist if you or your child are using or have used recently or may need to use any other medication (or eye drops), including those obtained without a prescription. In particular, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you know you are using prostaglandins, prostaglandin analogs, or prostaglandin derivatives.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
You should not use Visiotan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless your doctor considers it necessary. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor before using this medication.
Driving and operating machinery
When using Visiotan, blurred vision may appear for a short period of time. If this happens, do not drive or use tools or machines until your vision returns to normal.
Visiotan contains phosphate buffer
This medication contains 6.4 mg of phosphates in each ml equivalent to 0.2 mg/drop.
If you suffer from severe damage to the transparent layer at the front of the eye (cornea), treatment with phosphates, in rare cases, may cause cloudy patches in the cornea due to calcium.
Visiotan contains macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate
This medication may cause skin reactions because it contains macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate.
3. How to use Visiotan
Follow exactly the administration instructions for Visiotan indicated by your doctor, or the doctor treating your child. If in doubt, consult your doctor, or the doctor treating your child, or pharmacist again.
The recommended dose for adults (including elderly people) and children is one drop in the eye or affected eyes once a day. It is preferable to administer it at night.
Do not use Visiotan more than once a day; the effectiveness of the treatment may decrease if administered more frequently.
Use Visiotan as instructed by your doctor or the doctor treating your child until they tell you to stop.
Users of contact lenses
If you or your child use contact lenses, you must remove them before using Visiotan. After applying Visiotan, wait 15 minutes before putting the contact lenses back in.
Instructions for use
Wash your hands before using it. Make sure the single-use vial is intact before using this medication. The solution must be used immediately after opening the vial. To avoid contamination, do not let the tip of the single-use vial touch the eye or any other surface.
- Take a single-use vial from the strip.
- Hold the single-use vial in a vertical position (with the cap facing up) and turn the cap until it comes loose.
- Gently pull the lower eyelid down to form a pouch, between the eyelid and the eye. Invert the single-use vial and press until a drop falls into the eye or affected eyes.
- After using Visiotan, gently close your eyes, and with gentle pressure, press the edge of the eye, next to the nose for at least 1 minute. This helps to prevent Visiotan from passing into the rest of the body.
- If a drop is applied to both eyes, repeat the above steps for the other eye.
- Dispose of the single-use vial after use, even if there is solution left inside.
If a drop falls outside the eye, try again.
If you or your child is using other eye medications, such as eye drops or eye ointments, wait at least 5 minutes between the application of Visiotan and the other eye medications.
If you or your child receives more Visiotan than you should
If more drops than necessary have been applied to the eye, you may feel a slight irritation in the eye and the eyes may become red and tearful; this situation should resolve, but if you are concerned, contact your doctor or the doctor treating your child.
In case of accidental ingestion by you or your child, consult your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible, or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20.
If you or your child forgets to use Visiotan
Continue with the administration of the next dose in the usual manner. Do not apply an additional drop to the eye to compensate for the missed dose. If you have doubts, consult your doctor or the doctor treating your child or pharmacist.
If you or your child interrupts the treatment with Visiotan
If you want to stop using Visiotan, consult your doctor or the doctor treating your child.
If you have any other doubts about the use of this medication, ask your doctor or the doctor treating your child or pharmacist.
4. Possible Adverse Effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
The following are known side effects when using latanoprost:
Frequent side effects(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-colored 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 Visiotan is used in only one eye. The change in eye color does not appear to be associated with any problems. The change in eye color does not progress once treatment with Visiotan has been stopped.
- Redness of the eye.
- Ocular irritation (sensation of burning, sensation of sand in the eye, itching, pain, and sensation of a foreign body in the eye). If you experience severe ocular irritation that causes excessive tearing 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, observed in most patients of Japanese origin. These changes include an increase in color (darkening), lengthening, thickening, and an increase in the number of eyelashes.
Common side effects(may affect up to 1 in 10 patients):
- Irritation or erosion of the surface of the eye, inflammation of the eyelid (blepharitis), eye pain, and sensitivity to light (photophobia), conjunctivitis.
Uncommon side effects(may affect up to 1 in 100 patients):
- Swelling of the eyelids, dry eye, inflammation or irritation of the surface of the eye (keratitis), blurred vision, inflammation of the colored part of the eye (uveitis), swelling of the retina (macular edema).
- Skin rash.
- Nausea, vomiting.
- Chest pain (angina), feeling the heart rhythm (palpitations).
- Asthma, difficulty breathing (dyspnea).
- Chest pain.
- Headache, dizziness.
- Muscle pain, joint pain.
Rare side effects(may affect up to 1 in 1,000 patients):
- Inflammation of the iris (iritis), symptoms of swelling or damage to the surface of the eye, swelling around the eye (periorbital edema), eyelashes deviated or additional row of eyelashes, scarring of the surface of the eye, accumulation of fluid in the colored part of the eye (iris cyst).
- Reactions on the skin of the eyelids, darkening of the skin of the eyelids.
- Worsening of asthma.
- Intense itching of the skin.
- Development of a viral eye infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Very rare side effects(may affect up to 1 in 10,000 patients):
- Worsening of angina in patients with heart problems, appearance of sunken eyes (greater depth of the eyelid crease).
The side effects observed in children at a frequency greater than in adults are runny nose, nasal itching, and fever.
There have been rare cases of corneal calcification associated with the use of eye drops containing phosphates in some patients with significantly damaged corneas.
