Can you use Latisse while using Lotemax drops? Are these two products safe to use together?

Question

Can I use Latisse at night, even though I am using Lotemax steroid drops during the day for blepharitis treatment?

Francis Johns, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.Based on the diagnosis of Blepharitis, which means inflammation of the eyelids. I would stop using the Latisse on the eyelashes. It could be the Latisse that is cuasing the irritation. I would wait until you the blepharitis resolves and then try re-introducing the Latisse.  The Lotemax will be useless if it is the Latisse causing the problem. Have you discussed this with your doctor?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This should be fine, but I recommend following up with your surgeon about using Latisse with Lotemax drops. Keep in mind, eventually Latisse results may plateau. A combination approach is needed. In combination with Latisse, I typically inject and apply topically PRP for a few treatments at the beginning to improve the growth rate of the lashes. Take viviscal as well. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Hey ashleyharris83, the best answer here is to talk to your doctor about the two medications. Just to be clear, you are asking if you can use them both, but havent started using them together yet? Iatisse can irritate the eyelashes and the eye, so if you are being treated for blepharitis I would certainly let that treatment take its course first.
