4.2   Posology and method of administration

Posology
The recommended dose is one drop of SAFLUTAN in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.

The dose should not exceed once daily as more frequent administration may lessen the intraocular pressure lowering effect.

For single use only, one container is sufficient to treat both eyes. Any unused solution should be discarded immediately after use.
Use in elderly:
No dosage alteration in elderly patients is necessary.

Paediatric population
The safety and efficacy of tafluprost in children below age 18 has not yet been established. No data are available.

Use in renal/hepatic impairment
Tafluprost has not been studied in patients with renal/hepatic impairment and should therefore be used with caution in such patients.

Method of administration
To reduce the risk of darkening of the eyelid skin the patients should wipe off any excess solution from the skin. As with any other eye drops, nasolacrimal occlusion or gently closing the eyelid after administration is recommended. This may reduce the systemic absorption of medicinal products administered via the ocular route.

If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is being used, each one should be administered at least 5 minutes apart.
