A member asked:

I have glaucoma i use cosopt for years. in the past 3months i couldn't it and the pharmacist gave me xolamol and im using it is it a problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pharmacist: Your pharmacist can be very helpful in answering questions about your medications. A study showed that the 2 eye drop medications were equally effective. Xolamol is a generic version of cosopt. I hope this helps and reassures you.
