Who can and cannot use latanoprost

Most adults and children, including babies, can use latanoprost eye drops.

Latanoprost is not suitable for some people.

To make sure it's safe for you, tell your doctor before starting to use latanoprost if you:

• have ever had an allergic reaction to latanoprost or any other medicine
• are about to have or have had eye surgery (including cataract surgery)
• have eye problems such as eye pain, irritation, inflammation, blurred vision or dry eyes
• have severe asthma or your asthma is not controlled
• wear contact lenses – you can still use latanoprost, but you'll need to remove your contact lenses before using the drops
• have ever had or currently have, a viral infection of the eye caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV)
