A member asked:

When i use xlatan eye drops, it burns my eyes when the drops go in. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Xalatan (latanoprost) eye pain: Yes. Xalatan (latanoprost) is a prostaglandin analog...In other words the substance we try to eliminate when we take ibuprofen. However, of that class of medicine, it typically stings the least. Try refrigerating. Otherwise, it gets better with time.
