Vizilatan Duo Eye Drops – Latanoprost Timolol Preservative Free, 2.5ml
Vizilatan Duo Eye Drops combine latanoprost and timolol in a single, preservative-free ophthalmic solution to effectively lower raised intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Latanoprost belongs to a group of medicines called prostaglandin analogues. It works by increasing the natural drainage of fluid from the eye, helping excess fluid leave the eye more effectively.
Timolol belongs to a group of medicines known as beta-blockers. It works by reducing the amount of fluid produced inside the eye.
By working in these two complementary ways, Vizilatan Duo helps lower raised pressure inside the eye.
Vizilatan Duo is used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension—conditions caused by increased pressure within the eye that can gradually damage vision if not controlled. It is usually prescribed when treatment with a single eye drop has not been effective enough.
Vizilatan Duo is suitable for adult men and women, including elderly patients, but it is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
This dual-action formula works in two ways: latanoprost increases fluid drainage from the eye, while timolol reduces fluid production. Vizilatan Duo is a convenient once-daily combination treatment and can be used as an alternative to Fixapost eye drops.
Supplied in a 2.5ml preservative-free bottle, it is ideal for patients who are sensitive to preservatives.
