Why is xalatan (latanoprost) , the antiglaucoma drug, used in evening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Xalatan (latanoprost): Capstan is used at night because it is most effective when used every evening. The company producing the medication also recommends this dosing. Xalatan (latanoprost) can also cause some eye redness which is minimized with nightly dosing.
