Usage: Latanoprost Ophthalmic Solution should be applied as directed by your veterinarian. Please consult your veterinarian before making any changes to the prescribed dosing schedule. For general ophthalmic use: Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after application. Pull your
pet's lower eyelid down gently, then apply the prescribed number of drops into the pocket between the eyelid and the eyeball. Do NOT allow the tip of the tube to touch any surface, including your hands or your
pet's face and eyes, as this will contaminate the sterile surface. If using multiple eye medications or products, separate dosing by at least 5 minutes. Eye drops should be used before eye ointments to allow for proper absorption.
Missed Doses: Administer the dose as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do NOT apply two doses at once.
