Product Description
LATOCOM CF is a combination eye drop medication containing Timolol and Latanoprost. This formulation is used to treat high eye pressure (intraocular pressure) in conditions such as glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Timolol works by decreasing the production of fluid in the eye, while Latanoprost increases the drainage of fluid from the eye, reducing pressure inside the eye. The combination of these two medications helps in lowering intraocular pressure and preserving vision.
