To lower the risk of vision loss due to glaucoma

Latocom Eye Drops 2.5ml (Latanoprost + Timolol Maleate) works by lowering the pressure inside the eye. Latanoprost increases the outflow of fluid from the eye, while Timolol Maleate reduces the production of fluid. This combined action helps to maintain a healthy eye pressure and reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve.
