Due to changes in my insurance, it would be MUCH cheaper for me to get my
xalatan through mail order.  My retail pharmacist says it needs to be
refrigerated and buying through mail order would not be wise.
Anyone have an experience or opinion??

Thanx,

Joe

I have been getting my Xalatan by mail  for five years.  Never had a
problem.  It used to be shipped overnight with an ice pack (in hot weather).
Now it comes through regular mail or UPS.

Box now contains wording stating the following. **Important information for
Mail-Order Patients: Contact dispensing pharmacy if prescription is not
received within 8 days of dispensing date. SEE DATE ON PRESCRIPTION LABEL.
During shipment to the patient, the bottle may be maintained at temperatures
up to 40 degree C (104 degree F) for a period not exceeding 8 days.**

After you receive the Xalatan, it should be refrigerated until opened.

I believe I am right in making the following statement (If not, someone
please correct me).  If a bottle of Xalatan has been exposed to extreme high
for an extended period of time the contents will be cloudy and if so, don't
use.
