Is this Latisse safe? (Photo)

Question

Just wondering if this is authentic and safe, It's latisse bought in their pharmacy in Mexico without a prescription. Haven't used it yet because I'm worried about what may happen to my eyes obviously. Please help :)

Hello, I would be very careful using Latisse you obtained without a proper prescription and physician evaluation. I would not recommend using this particular product because it may not be what the packaging claims or may be expired etc. You should visit your local ophthalmologist or oculoplastic surgeon for a formal evaluation.

Thank you for the photo!  I agree with the other providers here.  I would not use a product purchased from Mexico without Allergan confirming that it is real, especially with a product used around the eyes.

Richard J. Wassermann, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

I agree with the other MD answers. It is best to contact Allergan to see if this product is the same in Mexico as it has been produced in the US.

Amy Y. Paul, DO, FAAD · Answer

Thanks for your question and submitting a photo.  Unfortunately there is no way to tell if that is the same as the U.S. prescribed product.  You might want to contact Allergan, the company that makes Latisse, and ask if they have a non-prescription product that is sold in Mexico and is equivalent, but I have not heard of such a product.  You are right to be careful as this can affect the eyes if it is not simply prescription Latisse from a U.S. pharmacy.
Best of luck!

Thank you for the picture.  While the packaging looks the same - probably best to contact Allergan to see if they sell the product over the counter in Mexico as pharmacy laws from state to state vary.Best

Hi nataliehyska, I'm sorry about this experience of yours.Latisse is sold by prescription and that information is on their ads and website. It must be prescribed and when you pick it up, its proper use will be explained to you. Re-orders can be done on the phone.Please don't use the "Latisse" since it might not be authentic. So many products are now passed on as the real thing and you can hardly tell from the packaging and labeling if it's real.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
