Xalacom has been identified by PharmacyChecker as a medication that may require cold chain management during shipment to maintain efficacy and safety.
To ensure the cold chain integrity of insulin and other refrigerated pharmaceutical products both domestically and internationally, accredited dispensing pharmacies must ensure manufacturer-specific storage and shipping requirements. Fridge storage is required for unopened brand-name Xalatan versions in the US, Canada, and New Zealand. The unopened UK version of brand-name Xalatan does not require refrigeration. Fridge storage is required for unopened latanoprost (generic Xalatan) US and Canadian versions. Fridge store is also required for the US latanoprost version of unopened Xelpros and the Canadian latanoprost version of Xalacom. Fridge storage is not required for the US latanoprost version called Iyuzeh, the Canadian latanoprost version called Monoprost, and the Indian latanoprost version called Latina RT. The Canadian version of Xalacom cannot be shipped without refrigeration.
The PharmacyChecker International Pharmacy Verification Program (IPVP) enforces rigorous standards for the international shipment of products requiring refrigeration. Only PharmacyChecker-accredited dispensing pharmacies located in Tier 1 countries that also hold PharmacyChecker cold chain certification are authorized to internationally dispense and/or ship refrigerated products.
Online pharmacies partnering with accredited dispensing pharmacies that meet cold-chain certification requirements may list prices for refrigerated medications under the "International Price Comparison" tab.
Pharmacies listing refrigerated product prices on PharmacyChecker.com must demonstrate ongoing compliance with IPVP cold chain certification requirements.
We strongly recommend patients avoid ordering refrigerated medications—or any medicines—online from websites that are not verified by the PharmacyChecker International Pharmacy Verification Program or another comparable verification program.

The Tier 1 icon indicates that an online pharmacy fills prescriptions only through its own pharmacy or through dispensing partners located in countries with advanced regulatory oversight. PharmacyChecker currently lists Tier 1 online pharmacies that work with dispensing partners in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. All PharmacyChecker-accredited online pharmacies, regardless of tier, meet the same high standards defined in the PharmacyChecker International Pharmacy Verification Program.
