solution<br>Latanoprost<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Latanoprost STADA is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Latanoprost Stada belongs to the group of drugs\u00a0prostaglandin analogs.\u00a0It works by increasing the natural outflow of fluid inside the eye to the bloodstream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latanoprost Stada is used to treat conditions called&nbsp;<strong>open-angle glaucoma&nbsp;<\/strong>and&nbsp;<strong>ocular&nbsp;hypertension&nbsp;<\/strong>(&nbsp;glaucoma&nbsp;) in adults.&nbsp;Both of these diseases cause an elevated pressure in the eye that can eventually affect vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latanoprost Stada is also used to lower eye pressure and&nbsp;glaucoma&nbsp;in infants and children of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latanoprost contained in Latanoprost Stada may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this product information.\u00a0Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you use Latanoprost STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not use Latanoprost STADA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Latanoprost Stada can be used by adults (including the elderly), and for children from birth to 18 years of age.&nbsp;Latanoprost Stada has not been tested in premature infants (born before week 36).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not use Latanoprost Stada<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to latanoprost or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor, or the doctor treating your child or pharmacist before you or your child use Latanoprost Stada if you think any of the following apply to you or your child:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you or your child are about to undergo or have just undergone eye surgery (including cataract surgery).<\/li><li>If you or your child suffers from eye problems (such as eye pain, irritation or&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;, blurred vision).<\/li><li>If you know that you or your child suffers from dry eyes.<\/li><li>If you or your child have severe&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;or uncontrolled&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;.<\/li><li>If you or your child wears contact lenses, you can still use Latanoprost Stada, but follow the special instructions in section 3.<\/li><li>If you have or have had a viral infection of the eye caused by

medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pregnancy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The unborn baby can be affected.&nbsp;Latanoprost Stada should not be used during pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Breast-feeding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor before using Latanoprost Stada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The child can be affected.\u00a0Latanoprost Stada should not be used during breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use Latanoprost Stada, you may have blurred vision for a short time.\u00a0If this happens, do not drive or use any tools or machines until you see them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.\u00a0One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or\u00a0side effects.\u00a0Descriptions of these effects and\u00a0side effects\u00a0can be found in other sections.\u00a0Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.\u00a0If you are not sure, talk to

and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting the contact lenses.\u00a0See instructions for contact lens wearers in Section 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benzalkonium chloride can be irritating to the eyes, especially if you have dry eyes or problems with the cornea (the clear membrane at the front of the eye).\u00a0If you experience irritation, tingling, or pain in the eye after using the medicine,

to your doctor or doctor who is treating your child or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The usual&nbsp;dose&nbsp;for adults (including the elderly) and children is one drop daily in the affected eye

Latanoprost Stada according to the instructions given to you by your doctor or the doctor treating your child until the doctor tells you to stop the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For you who wear contact lenses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or your child wear contact lenses, they should be removed before&nbsp;dosing&nbsp;with Latanoprost Stada.&nbsp;After taking Latanoprost Stada, wait 15
