Staying on XALATAN

Things you need to know—be informed

As of March 2011, XALATAN lost its exclusivity, but Pfizer continues to make XALATAN available to you.

What does it mean when XALATAN loses its exclusivity?

Other companies besides Pfizer Inc, the current maker of XALATAN, are able to manufacture a generic version of XALATAN using the main ingredient.

Questions to ask your doctor to help make an informed decision.

Untreated high eye pressure may lead to glaucoma. Once the damage is done, it can't be reversed. Your doctor prescribed XALATAN because with over 14 years of clinical experience and an established safety profile, it's been proven to control high eye pressure.

Talk to your doctor—and get all the facts—be informed.

If I want XALATAN how can I ensure that the pharmacy doesn't fill my prescription or refill with a generic substitute?

When you receive your prescription at the pharmacy or through mail-order, be sure that the bottle says "XALATAN" – the medication that you and your doctor decided was right for you. If you receive the generic substitute from your pharmacy, talk to your pharmacist or doctor immediately about your options.
