Who discovered Xalatan?
Like many scientific discoveries, the invention of Xalatan began with a hunch. It was the mid-1970’s, and Dr. Bito , a hard-driving researcher who bucked the eye-research establishment with his unconventional ideas about glaucoma treatment, had been named an assistant professor of ophthalmology at Columbia University.
When were glaucoma drops invented?
Eserine (physostigmine) was the first glaucoma drug, a cholinergic agonist dating from 1876. Derived from the West African calabar bean, which caused pupils to become smaller, it was initially used for miosis in iridectomy cases, then found to lower IOP and break angle-closure attacks.
Where is Xalatan manufactured?
Informed patients will not mind that their eye drops are not labeled with the brand name anymore and may know that one version of gener- ic latanoprost is still produced at the same facility in Puurs, Belgium , so there is virtually no difference.
Why is latanoprost taken at night?
However, Konstas and associates5noted that latanoprost alone taken at night provided a greater pressure reduction for daytime pressures. In contrast, morning-dosed latanoprost provided a greater nighttime pressure reduction. Consequently, there seems to be a peak effect with latanoprost 12 to 24 hours after dosing.
