Pressure 42 right, 38 left, both in low twenties now. This drug may well have saved my vision. Zero side effects. Pricey, but how do you put a price on your sight? Published: November 13, 2007 ::

side-effects: dry eye, uveitis, retinal detachment. Please, forbid this drug! Published: October 29, 2007 ::

pressure went only down from 26 to 25, side-effects: severe uveitis, macula edema, permanent loss of vision (from 98% to 21%), this drug should be forbidden! Published: October 14, 2007 ::

After 2 months of using drugs, I had inflamation and pain every joint in my body. Published: November 09, 2007 ::

Although this drug is non-painful and easy to use, it does have side effects such as discoloration of your eyelids to a dark pink and it does cause eyelash growth. For me, this worsens a condition I have already with embedded eyelashes due to scar tissue on my eyelids from 30 years of battling this dreadful eye disease with caustic glaucoma drops. Also, the manufacturers of this drug only give you a small amount. If you are blind in one eye (like myself due to glaucoma), we don't always get the drop in the eye each time. I wish they would stop measuring the amounts out to the single drop dosage of 30 drops per month. Ridiculous! Published: November 21, 2007 ::

High eye-pressure 28/26 was reduced to 24/23, severe side-effects: uveitis, pain, macula edema, loss of vision 67%. Don't use this drug!!! Published: October 19, 2007 ::

after using xalatan for a short while--developed pain in muscles and joints--thinking it was inflamation -went on anti-inflamatory meds for 4 weeks -but pain became almost debilitating-- and developed flu symptoms-went off the xalatan and began to show improvement but still have residual pain in one leg and back--will be doubly cautious of ANY med that even has a slight possiblity of causing joint or muscle pain Published: February 18, 2008 ::

Within a few months of using this medicine, I started experiencing flu like symptoms. Think of the worst flu shakes you've ever had and triple that. I noticed it only happened at night after I used the drops and it lasted only 4 to 5 hours. I now take an allergy med once a day and have not had this side effect since I started taking it. My eye doctor said he had never heard of this, but my GP doctor felt I had a legitimate claim. Published: November 13, 2007 ::

When traveling keeping the medication cold is very difficult. Especially with overseas travel. Published: December 16, 2007 ::

70 year old female. After 2 years Xalatan has not diminished the light flashes in the corner of left eye. Dr. too rushed to explain beginning administration. Online reading warned me of potential danger to heart. Should I use another drug and/or another doctor. Published: November 08, 2007 ::

Women beware -I used Travatan (sister drug) for 3 weeks and found black hairs growing all over my face. Also my regular hair color is light brown, and found far longer hair on my fingers and arms/brown. The literature mentioned longer eye lashes would result from this drug, but I never expected this result. After much electrolysis and laser hair removal, I am getting back to normal. Just be advised - I wish I had been. Perhaps the drug manufacturer could revise this as a hair growth product! Published: November 01, 2008 ::
