medicines: latanoprost and\u00a0timolol\u00a0.\u00a0Latanoprost belongs to the group of drugs\u00a0prostaglandin analogues.\u00a0Timolol\u00a0belongs to the group of medicines\u00a0beta-blockers.\u00a0Latanoprost increases the natural outflow of\u00a0aqueous humor\u00a0from the eye to the bloodstream.\u00a0Timolol\u00a0reduces the formation of fluid inside the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latiotim is used to reduce pressure in the eye if you have\u00a0open-angle glaucoma\u00a0or\u00a0glaucoma.\u00a0Both of these diseases cause an elevated pressure in the eye that can eventually affect vision.\u00a0Your doctor will usually prescribe Latiotim when other medicines do not have enough effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latanoprost and\u00a0timolol contained\u00a0in Latiotim 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 using Latiotim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latiotim can be used by adult men and women (including the elderly), but is not recommended if you are under 18 years of age.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not use Latiotim<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to latanoprost or&nbsp;timolol&nbsp;,&nbsp;beta-blockers&nbsp;or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)<\/li><li>if you have or have previously had breathing problems such as&nbsp;asthma&nbsp;or severe&nbsp;chronic&nbsp;obstructive&nbsp;bronchitis&nbsp;(severe lung disease that may cause wheezing, difficulty breathing and \/ or prolonged cough)<\/li><li>if you have severe heart problems or&nbsp;arrhythmias&nbsp;.<\/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 pharmacist before using Latiotim if you have or have ever had any of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>you are going to have any type of eye surgery (including cataract surgery) or have had any type of eye surgery before<\/li><li>eye problems (such as eye pain, eye irritation, eye inflammation or blurred vision)<\/li><li>dry eyes<\/li><li>you wear contact

disease&nbsp;(COPD)<\/li><li>disease with poor blood circulation (such as&nbsp;Raynaud&#8217;s disease&nbsp;or Raynaud&#8217;s syndrome)<\/li><li>diabetes&nbsp;, because&nbsp;timolol&nbsp;can mask the signs and symptoms of low blood sugar<\/li><li>overactive&nbsp;thyroid gland&nbsp;because&nbsp;timolol&nbsp;can mask signs and symptoms of illness<\/li><li>disorders of the heart rhythm such as slow heart rhythm<\/li><li>heart failure<\/li><li>coronary artery disease (symptoms may include chest pain, chest tightness, shortness of breath or suffocation)<\/li><li>angina (especially Prinzmetal angina)<\/li><li>low&nbsp;blood pressure<\/li><li>severe allergic reactions that usually require hospitalization<\/li><li>viral infection of the eye caused by the&nbsp;herpes&nbsp;simplex&nbsp;virus&nbsp;(&nbsp;HSV&nbsp;).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Before using surgery, tell your doctor that you are using Latiotim, as this medicine may affect the way some medicines are used under anesthesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Latiotim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Latiotim may affect or be affected by other medicines you are taking, including other\u00a0eye drops\u00a0for\u00a0glaucoma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, tell your doctor if you are taking or plan to take any of the following medicines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>prostaglandin&nbsp;is,&nbsp;prostaglandin analog&nbsp;is or prostaglandin derivative<\/li><li>antihypertensive drugs (eg&nbsp;beta-blockers&nbsp;)<\/li><li>medicines used to treat high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;, such as oral&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;channel blockers,&nbsp;guanetidine&nbsp;,&nbsp;clonidine&nbsp;, antiarrhythmic medicines (eg&nbsp;amiodarone&nbsp;),&nbsp;digitalis glycosides&nbsp;or parasympatomimetics<\/li><li>drugs for the treatment

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latiotim with food and drink<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Normal meals, food, or drink do not affect when or how you should use Latiotim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do not<\/strong>\u00a0use Latiotim if you are pregnant unless your doctor tells you it&#8217;s necessary.\u00a0If you are pregnant, 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>Do not<\/strong>\u00a0use Latiotim if you are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The active substances of this medicine can be transferred to breast milk.\u00a0If you are breastfeeding, talk to your doctor before taking any medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been found that latanoprost and\u00a0timolol\u00a0do not affect\u00a0male or female\u00a0fertility\u00a0in animal studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use Latiotim, your vision may become cloudy for a short while.&nbsp;If this happens, do not drive or use any tools or machines until you see clearly.<\/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 your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Latiotim contains excipients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Latiotim contains benzalkonium chloride<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 0.20 mg of benzalkonium chloride per ml.&nbsp;Benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may discolor the contact lenses.&nbsp;Remove contact lenses before using the medicine and wait at least 15 minutes before re-inserting the contact lenses.<\/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, consult a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Latiotim contains&nbsp;phosphate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This medicine contains 6.3 mg of\u00a0phosphate\u00a0per ml.\u00a0If you have severely damaged\u00a0cornea,\u00a0in very rare cases,\u00a0phosphate\u00a0can cause cloudy spots on the cornea due to the accumulation of\u00a0calcium\u00a0during treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use Latiotim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you open the bottle for the first time, make a note of the date on the space on the outer carton provided for this purpose.&nbsp;Then you know when the bottle can no longer be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One drop in the diseased eye (s) once daily.&nbsp;Dose&nbsp;one must not exceed one (1) drop in the diseased eye (s) once daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Use of Latiotim at the same time as other&nbsp;eye drops<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use other&nbsp;eye drops&nbsp;besides Latiotim, wait at least 5 minutes between applying the different eye drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instructions for use<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these instructions carefully when using Latiotim\u00a0eye drops.\u00a0Feel free to wash your hands before use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not allow the tip of the dropper to touch the eye or the area around the eye.&nbsp;The tip can be contaminated by bacteria that can cause eye inflammation that can lead to serious damage to the eye, even loss of vision.&nbsp;To avoid contamination of the dropper bottle, do not allow the tip of the dropper bottle to touch any surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not use the dropper bottle if the seal around the neck of the bottle is broken before the first opening of the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Open the bottle by turning the screw cap until the seal is broken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket between the eyelid and the eye (Figure 1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fass.se\/LIF\/product?userType=2&amp;nplId=20110202000082#\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fass.se\/res\/RootMedia\/Biochemie\/Media\/Media\/Sandoz\/Latio1.jpg\" alt=\"Figure one\" title=\"Figure one\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. Turn the bottle so that the tip is pointing downwards and gently push (Figures 2 and 3) until one (1) drop comes in contact with the eye according to your doctor&#8217;s instructions.&nbsp;DO NOT TOUCH THE EYE OR THE EYLE WITH THE DROP OF THE DROP BOTTLE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fass.se\/LIF\/product?userType=2&amp;nplId=20110202000082#\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fass.se\/res\/RootMedia\/Biochemie\/Media\/Media\/Sandoz\/Latio2.jpg\" alt=\"Figure two\" title=\"Figure two\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fass.se\/LIF\/product?userType=2&amp;nplId=20110202000082#\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fass.se\/res\/RootMedia\/Biochemie\/Media\/Media\/Sandoz\/Latio3.jpg\" alt=\"Figure three\" title=\"Figure three\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figure 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the other eye if your doctor prescribes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6. Close the eye (s) slowly after applying Latiotim and hold a finger at the corner of the eye, at the nose for 2 minutes.&nbsp;This prevents Latiotim from reaching other parts of the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7. Close the bottle immediately after use by turning the cap back firmly.&nbsp;Put the dropper bottle back in the original outer carton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8. The tip of the dropper bottle is shaped to form a drop of a fixed volume;\u00a0therefore, do not enlarge the hole in the tip of the dropper bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can usually continue to use the\u00a0drops\u00a0unless the\u00a0side effects\u00a0are severe.\u00a0If you are concerned, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.\u00a0Do not stop using Latiotim without talking to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listed&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;known&nbsp;from treatment with Latiotim are listed below.&nbsp;The most important&nbsp;side effect&nbsp;is the risk of a gradual and permanent change in your eye color.&nbsp;It is also possible that Latiotim may cause serious changes in your heart function.&nbsp;If you notice a change in heart rhythm or heart function, contact a doctor and tell them that you have used Latiotim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following have been observed during treatment with Latiotim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very common&nbsp;(may affect more than 1 user in 10):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A gradual change in eye color due to an increasing amount of brown pigment in the colored part of the eye called the&nbsp;iris&nbsp;.&nbsp;If you have a mottled eye color (blue-brown, gray-brown, yellow-brown or green-brown), the color change is more likely to occur than if you have monochromatic eyes (blue, gray, green or brown eyes).&nbsp;The change in eye color can take several years to develop.&nbsp;The color change may be permanent and may become more obvious if you use Latiotim in only one of the eyes.&nbsp;No eye problems have been identified due to.&nbsp;the color change.&nbsp;The change in eye color does not continue after discontinuation of Latiotim.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>eye irritation (eg a burning or burning sensation,&nbsp;itching&nbsp;, feeling of debris in the eye)<\/li><li>eye pain.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncommon&nbsp;(may affect up

effects&nbsp;are<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other eye medicines, Latiotim (latanoprost and\u00a0timolol\u00a0) are absorbed into the bloodstream.\u00a0The frequency of\u00a0side\u00a0effects after using\u00a0eye drops\u00a0is lower than if the medicine is taken orally or by\u00a0injection,\u00a0for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the following\u00a0side effects\u00a0have not been seen\u00a0in connection with treatment with Latiotim, they can occur for the medicines that are included in Latiotim (latanoprost and\u00a0timolol\u00a0) and thus they can occur in connection with treatment with Latiotim.\u00a0The side effects\u00a0listed below are those seen with the drug class\u00a0beta-blockers\u00a0(eg\u00a0timolol\u00a0) when used to treat eye diseases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul
