The two ingredients target both sides of the IOP equation \u2014 outflow (latanoprost) and production (timolol) \u2014 for once-daily 30\u201335% IOP reduction.<\/p>\n<h2>How It Works<\/h2>\n<p>Latanoprost increases uveoscleral outflow via FP-receptor activation; timolol reduces aqueous production through ciliary epithelium beta-blockade. The mechanisms are complementary, making the combination roughly equivalent to taking the two drugs separately at the right intervals.<\/p>\n<h2>Dosing<\/h2>\n<p>One drop in affected eye(s) once daily, in the evening. Wait 5 minutes between other eye drops. Practise punctal occlusion for 1\u20132 minutes to reduce systemic timolol absorption. Remove contact lenses; reinsert after 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:12px 16px;margin:14px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:14px;line-height:1.55;\"><strong style=\"color:#a94442;\">Cardiac &amp; respiratory contraindications.<\/strong> The timolol component makes $brand contraindicated in asthma, severe COPD, sinus bradycardia, second\/third-degree AV block, and decompensated heart failure. Even ophthalmic timolol can trigger bronchospasm and bradycardia.<\/div>\n<h2>Side Effects<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Eye:<\/strong> conjunctival hyperaemia (less than bimatoprost+timolol combos), iris pigmentation in light-coloured eyes (permanent), eyelash thickening, periorbital fat atrophy, mild stinging.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Systemic:<\/strong> bradycardia, fatigue, depression, bronchospasm in reactive airways, masking of hypoglycaemia signs.<\/p>\n<h2>Warnings<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Asthma, severe COPD \u2014 absolute<\/li>\n<li>Bradycardia, AV block, decompensated heart failure<\/li>\n<li>Active uveitis, herpetic keratitis, pseudophakia with macular oedema risk<\/li>\n<li>Pregnancy Category C \u2014 avoid<\/li>\n<li>Concurrent oral beta-blockers \u2014 additive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Storage<\/h2>\n<p>Store at 2\u20138\u00b0C unopened (refrigerator).

Bimatoprost is slightly more potent but with more cosmetic side effects.<\/p>\n<h3>When should I take Lacoma-T Eye Drops?<\/h3>\n<p>Once daily in the evening for maximum IOP reduction overnight, when IOP is typically highest in untreated glaucoma.<\/p>\n<h3>Will my eye colour change?<\/h3>\n<p>Possibly \u2014 latanoprost can permanently darken light irises (blue, green, hazel). Brown irises are usually unaffected.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use Lacoma-T Eye Drops with asthma?<\/h3>\n<p>No \u2014 the timolol component is contraindicated. Switch to a non-beta-blocker option.<\/p>\n<h3>What is punctal occlusion?<\/h3>\n<p>Press the inner corner of your eye for 1\u20132 minutes after instillation to block tear drainage and reduce systemic timolol absorption by ~70%.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I drive after the drop?<\/h3>\n<p>Wait 5\u201310 minutes for any blur to clear before driving.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I take oral beta-blockers?<\/h3>\n<p>Tell your prescriber. Additive bradycardia is possible. Some clinicians prefer a non-beta-blocker combination in patients on oral atenolol\/metoprolol.<\/p>\n<h3>Is Lacoma-T Eye Drops safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>Category C. Avoid; switch to monotherapy under specialist guidance.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I miss a dose?<\/h3>\n<p>Skip and resume normal evening schedule. Do not double dose.<\/p>\n<h3>What if I store the unopened bottle at room temperature?<\/h3>\n<p>Latanoprost (the unopened bottle) needs refrigeration for shelf-life stability. Once opened, the bottle is fine at room temperature for 28 days.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3>Other Eye-Care Medications<\/h3>\n<p>Customers viewing this product also consider these alternatives in our <a href=\"\/eye-care\/\">Eye Care<\/a> range:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/xalatan-eye-drop\/\">Xalatan Eye Drop (latanoprost)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/azopt-eye-drops\/\">Azopt Eye Drops (brinzolamide)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/alphagan-p-drop\/\">Alphagan P Drop (brimonidine)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/iotim-eye-drops\/\">Iotim Eye Drops (timolol)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/careprost-eye-drops\/\">Careprost (bimatoprost)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Medical Disclaimer<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#555;\">The information on this page is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice from a qualified ophthalmologist or optometrist.
