6. Contents of the package and additional information

Vizilatan Duo contains two active ingredients: latanoprost and timolol. Latanoprost belongs to a group of medications called prostaglandin analogs. Timolol belongs to a group of medications called beta-blockers. Latanoprost acts by increasing the natural outflow of fluid from the eye into the bloodstream. Timolol slows down the formation of fluid in the eye.

This medication is used to reduce the pressure inside your eye if you have conditions known as open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. These two conditions are related to an increase in intraocular pressure that can affect vision. Normally, your doctor will prescribe this medication when other medications have not worked adequately.

This medication can be used in adult men and women (including elderly patients), but it is not recommended for use in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Vizilatan Duo eye drops in solution are a sterile solution that does not contain preservatives.
