Take special care with Latanoprost eye drops:

Talk to your doctor or the doctor treating your child or your pharmacist before you take Latanoprost eye drops or before you give this medicine to your child if you think any of the following apply to you or your child:

• If you or your child are about to have or have had eye surgery (including cataract surgery)
• If you or your child suffer from eye problems (such as eye pain, irritation or inflammation, blurred vision)
• If you or your child suffer from dry eyes
• If you or your child have severe asthma or the asthma is not well controlled
• If you or your child wear contact lenses. You can still use Latanoprost eye drops, but follow the instruction for contact lens wearers in Section 3
• If you have suffered or are currently suffering from a viral infection of the eye caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Tell your doctor, the doctor treating your child or pharmacist if you or your child are taking or have taken any other medicines (including eye drops).

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor for advice. Do not use Latanoprost eye drops when you are pregnant or breast-feeding.

As with other eye drops, if your vision is blurred when you first put your drops in, wait until this wears off before you drive or operate machinery.

Latanoprost eye drops contains a preservative called benzalkonium chloride. This preservative may cause eye irritation or disruption to the surface of the eye. Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by contact lenses and is known to discolour soft contact lenses. Therefore, avoid contact with soft contact lenses.

If you or your child wear contact lenses, you should remove these before using Latanoprost eye drops. See the instructions for contact lens wearers in Section 3.

If you or your child wear contact lenses, you should remove these before using Latanoprost eye drops. After using Latanoprost eye drops you should wait 15 minutes before putting the contact lenses back into the eyes.

If you have to use other eye drops you should wait for at least five minutes before using them.

Follow the steps below to help you use Latanoprost eye drops properly:

1. Wash your hands and sit or stand comfortably.
2. Unscrew the protective cap (which should be retained).
3. Use your finger to gently pull down the lower eyelid of your affected eye.
4. Place the tip of the bottle close to, but not touching your eye.
5. Squeeze the bottle gently so that only one drop goes into your eye and then release the lower eyelid.
6. Press a finger against the corner of the affected eye by the nose. Hold for 1 minute whilst keeping the eye closed.
7. Repeat in your other eye if your doctor has told you to do this.
8. Put the cap back on the bottle.

If you put too many drops in your eye, you may feel some slight irritation in the eye and the eyes may water and turn red. If you are worried, contact your doctor or the doctor treating your child for advice.

Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you or your child swallows Latanoprost eye drops accidentally.

If you forget to apply your drops at the usual time, just skip that dose. Do not apply a double dose to make up for the missed dose. Instead, just wait until the next time you are supposed to apply it, and then apply your normal dose.

You should speak to your doctor or the doctor treating your child if you want to stop using Latanoprost eye drops.
