Xelpros is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are unresponsive to other pressure-lowering medications.
Xelpros contains latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2α analog that increases aqueous humor outflow through the uveoscleral pathway, thereby reducing intraocular pressure.
Xelpros is for topical ophthalmic use only. Common side effects may include eye redness, iris color changes, eyelash growth, and eyelid skin darkening. Patients should remove contact lenses before instilling drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Use exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
