What are some of the side effects of using Xalatan?
The most common side effects of latanoprost (Xalatan) are stinging and burning related to corneal irritation, conjunctival injection (redness) and, in some patients, a darkening of the iris color. Your complaints may represent either a side effect or allergic reaction to this medication. Both of these are unlikely to disappear on their own. Latanoprost allergy or intolerance is not uncommon and may occur in as many as 5 percent of patients who are currently using other classes of antiglaucomatous medication. As always, call your doctor if you have an adverse reaction to any medication.
