Can Latanoprost Be Taken In Place Of Restasis?

my eye doctor has prescribed restatsis drops for dry eyes. the company that makes it has changed the price to 1300.00 for a three months supply. my pharmacist suggested latanoprost as a replacement for restatsis. his claim is that it is made by the same company and has practically the same ingrediants. what do you think. my email is YYYY@YYYY
