Product Introduction

Latocom Eye Drops is used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It works by reducing the production of fluid (aqueous humor) in the eye, thereby lowering eye pressure.

Use this medicine only in the affected eye, in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Wash your hands before use and avoid touching the dropper tip. Do not skip doses and complete the course for best results.
