I’ve been on generic latanoprost (buy from Sams club manufactured by Sandoz) and have had a selective laser trabeculotomy (SLT) in both eyes yet my pressure is not going down measurably. The other point to note is that eyelash growth and eye color change are a common side effect with latanoprost yet I have experienced neither in almost a year of using the drops.
I wonder since my pressure is not going down and I’ve also not had the common side effects if the generic is not effective for me? Or is it the drug? Maybe the brand name latanoprost would be effective?
Question: is there a difference in the generic v the brand? Or should I ask doc to switch the drops? I hate to waste much more time using ineffective eye drops when my vision is on the line!
