Xalatan for eyelash growth

Common Questions and Answers about Xalatan for eyelash growth

xalatan

Avatar m tn Lumigan is a glaucoma medication that is put directly on the eye. Latisse is the same medication, different packaging for eyelash growth and it is painted on the eyelashes with a brush. I suppose the study that was completed 12/31/09 for growing eyelashes was only done on upper lid eyelashes. Then that's all that the FDA will allow them to say.
Avatar f tn Thank you for this information it is very help to know about drops available to help eyelash growth. We are in search of a pediatric ophthalmologist and will hopefully get a referral for a dermatologist after 10 more days of trying his ointment.
Avatar m tn Hi, my doctor would like me to have SLT in one eye (has a test) to lower my IOP (Xalatan is not enough apparently)... I've red a couple of studies on SLT and some pretend that SLT is coutner indicated for Juvenile glaucoma (it could raise IOP instead of lowering it) I'm 31 years old... Any thoughts ?
Avatar f tn s been three weeks since I accidently yanked my upper lashes out with my eyelash curler and no trace of new growth. How long will it take for my lashes to grow back? Can I wear eyeliner to cover up the bald spot on my upper lid where there are no lashes?
17644146 tn?1458782868 Thank you. I am referring to an UN-opened Xalatan. Instructions say to refrigerate unopened Xalatan at 36 - 46 degrees. That is why I questioned the pharmacist keeping the Unopened Xalatan out of the fridge for one day. I've always kept unopened Xalatan in fridge. I am in my seventies and just don't want to do the right thing.
Avatar n tn There are many eyelash growth products in the market, but their efficacy has not been scientifically proven. So consult a dermatologist before using any of them. I sincerely hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
Avatar n tn You have asked a very interesting question. I believe this kind of unusual eyelash growth is called Distichiasis. It will be interesting to see what the doctor here says.

Avatar m tn l have been taking Xalatan for a year and there has'nt been any side effects except my eyes feeling a bit dry l have developed some floaters but my doctor says it most likley has nothing to do with the xalatan , but the past few weeks it has been starting to sting or feel a bit , sometimes l put in two drops at a time instead of one , could putting too much in cause this soreness, is there an eye drop such as a lubricant eye drop l could take that relieves the soreness.
Avatar f tn Do you mean you have something on your eyelid? if on eyelash the eyelash is usually just pulled out. If on the eyelid I have no way of telling how big of a deal this is. You really need to ask your surgeon.
Avatar m tn IM NOT SURE BUT I MAY HAVE TAKEN THE COSOPT THREE TIMES A DAY FOR 2 OR 3 DAYS IN A 4 MONTH SPAN.I ALSO TAKE XALATAN ONCE A DAY IF I ACCCIDENTALLY DID TWO TIMES A DAY IN A 4 MONTH SPAN WOULD ALL THIS BE OK.IM STARTING TO SCHEDULE TIS SO I USE HE CORRECT DOSAGE BUT IM JUST CURIOUS THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
Avatar m tn My mother, age 53 and of Asian decent, had a lump in her upper left eyelid for around 6 months now. It started in October, a painless lump and then got removed in January when it grew in size. Then the doc realised that the flareup was due to another lump in the same area, a new growth! This new growth had been injected with steroids once in January, reduced in size before returning to the original pea size again.
507082 tn?1210735777 My eyelashes have fallen out also. I have been using eyelash growing gels. I don't want to mention the names of the 2 different companys because I don't know if this is why they are falling out. They were not "fly by night" companys. They both hve very good reputations, and the growth gels worked unbelievably for the first 6 to 8 months. Now my eyelids seem to have dandruff that I have to brush off every day. I don't pull my eyelashes nor do I use mascara often.
17644146 tn?1458782868 I wonder if anyone was ever using the brand name Xalatan and then had to switch to the Greenstone generic brand (supposedly made by same company- Pfizer). If so has it worked okay? My insurance might not cover the brand name any longer, which I have been taking for about 30 years, and wants me to switch to generic. (Insurance company and pharmaceutical companies are driving me crazy with their prices, etc.
Avatar f tn Have used Xalatan for several years with no rash. Added Trusopt 1 year ago and about 3 months ago I started with a rash on eyelids. Dermatologist treated for contact dermatitis Fluticasone Propionate cream with little result. Opthamologist treated for blepharitis with an antibiotic cream and eyelid wash, again no relief. I tried using Xalatan in AM rather than at nite, no change. Tried just Trusopt AM and early PM, no change.
Avatar m tn I MISSED A COUPLE DOSES OF COSOPT AND XALATAN THE PAST MONTH SHOULD I JUST GO ON WITH MY REGULAR SCHEDULE/
Avatar n tn In searching for a cheaper way to control glaucoma I found tablets offered. Do tablets work as well as drops??
Avatar f tn The bottom lid however has one long black lash hanging on for dear life. Again thank you for the advise.

Avatar f tn How much can Xalatan lower IOPs by? If it is not enough to get into safe figures, can other prostaglandins be tried? Is it realistic to hope that some of them will work for more than 2 or 3 years or is tolerance almost always built up to the drugs?
