Is Latanoprost Safe For Eyes?

Is latanoprost made in India for Acorn Inc. safe??? For the last 15 years I used Xalatan or generic Latanoprost made in US(Bausch and Lomb) to treat my glaucoma.. For the first time my pharmacy at Costco filled my prescription with the eye drops made in India . I live in New Jersey. Andrew.

latanoprost is safe for glucaoma it doesn't any difference where it is manufactured
it should be assessed by its concentration which should be .005%.
