Latacris (Latanoprost)

Latanoprost, the active ingredient in Latacris, is a prostaglandin F2α analog presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular use. It lowers intraocular pressure and is employed in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension in adult patients. The medication is indicated for primary open‑angle glaucoma and for patients with elevated eye pressure who are at risk of optic nerve damage.

GNH India supplies Latacris as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The product conforms to EU regulatory standards and is manufactured under strict quality controls.

Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Latanoprost, marketed as Latacris, acts on the prostaglandin pathway to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma‑related conditions.
  • Primary open-angle glaucoma: reduces intraocular pressure to help preserve visual field.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers eye pressure to prevent progression to glaucoma.
  • Secondary open-angle glaucoma: decreases intraocular pressure in cases where glaucoma develops secondary to other ocular conditions.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the ciliary muscle, activating a cascade that remodels extracellular matrix and enhances uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. The increased outflow lowers intraocular pressure, helping to protect the optic nerve from pressure‑related damage.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause ocular and systemic reactions; most are mild, but some require medical attention.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness (hyperemia).
  • Increased iris pigmentation.
  • Eyelash growth and darkening.
  • Eye irritation or foreign‑body sensation.
  • Blurred vision.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Uveitis or intraocular inflammation.
  • Macular edema leading to visual disturbance.
  • Severe allergic reaction such as angio‑edema or anaphylaxis.
  • Persistent eye pain.
  • Sudden loss of vision.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety measures.
  • Baseline IOP measurement: assess intraocular pressure before starting therapy.
  • Monitor iris color: watch for progressive darkening of the iris.
  • Avoid in active ocular inflammation: contraindicated in uveitis or other intraocular inflammatory conditions.
  • Hypersensitivity: discontinue if an allergic reaction occurs.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost can interact with other ocular or systemic agents; awareness of these interactions helps optimize therapy.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other prostaglandin analog eye drops: may cause excessive intraocular pressure reduction.
  • Combination with ocular corticosteroids: may diminish the therapeutic effect of latanoprost.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may increase ocular irritation.
  • Systemic beta‑blockers: additive hypotensive effect is generally minimal but blood pressure should be monitored.
  • Anticholinergic agents: may affect pupil size and ocular dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latacris contains latanoprost and is prescribed to lower intraocular pressure in adults with primary open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve visual function.

Latanoprost activates prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the eye, which remodels the extracellular matrix of the ciliary muscle and increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure.

The prescribed dose is determined by the treating ophthalmologist. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily, usually in the evening, but exact dosing should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety data for latanoprost in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by the prescribing clinician.

To request Latacris, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Latacris belongs to the prostaglandin analog class, which generally offers once‑daily dosing and strong intraocular pressure reduction. Compared with beta‑blocker drops, prostaglandin analogs often have a more pronounced effect and a different side‑effect profile, such as changes in iris color, but both classes are effective first‑line options.

Store Latacris at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging. Protect the bottle from light and moisture, and keep the cap tightly closed to maintain sterility.

Instill one drop of Latacris into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface to prevent contamination.

Serious adverse events include uveitis, macular edema, and severe allergic reactions such as angio‑edema. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience eye pain, sudden vision loss, or signs of a systemic allergic response.

Latacris should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation, and it is contraindicated in patients with active intraocular inflammation such as uveitis.
