Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to manage conditions that involve elevated intra‑ocular pressure.
  • Open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intra‑ocular pressure to help prevent optic‑nerve damage.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers eye pressure to decrease the risk of developing glaucoma.
  • Pseudoexfoliative glaucoma: helps control pressure in eyes affected by pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F‑type receptors in the ciliary muscle, activating a cascade that remodels extracellular matrix and enhances uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intra‑ocular pressure.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause ocular and peri‑ocular reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness (hyperemia)
  • Increased eyelash length and thickness
  • Darkening of the iris pigment
  • Eye irritation or foreign‑body sensation
  • Blurred vision shortly after instillation
  • Mild itching or burning on application

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction (e.g., angio‑edema)
  • Uveitis or intra‑ocular inflammation
  • Macular edema, especially in patients with risk factors
  • Paradoxical increase in intra‑ocular pressure
  • Corneal edema or endothelial changes

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before initiating therapy, consider the following safety measures.
  • Monitor intra‑ocular pressure: schedule regular pressure checks.
  • Assess for ocular infections: avoid use if active conjunctivitis or keratitis is present.
  • Avoid contact lenses: discontinue lens wear during treatment and for several hours after instillation.
  • Caution in patients with a history of uveitis: watch for inflammatory signs.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost may interact with other ocular or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concomitant use of other prostaglandin analogs: may increase local side‑effects.
  • Simultaneous use of systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: additive IOP‑lowering effect requires monitoring.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may reduce latanoprost efficacy.
  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: additive pressure reduction may lead to excessive lowering.
  • Topical corticosteroids: may diminish the IOP‑lowering response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Al is prescribed to lower intra‑ocular pressure in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent optic‑nerve damage and preserve visual field.

The drug activates prostaglandin F‑type receptors in the eye, which remodels the extracellular matrix of the ciliary body and increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, resulting in reduced intra‑ocular pressure.

The dosing regimen is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, but the exact schedule 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 the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by the treating physician.

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

Latanoprost belongs to the prostaglandin analog class, which generally offers once‑daily dosing and strong IOP‑lowering efficacy. Compared with beta‑blockers or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, it often provides greater pressure reduction with a different side‑effect profile, such as increased eyelash growth.

Store the product at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original container. Protect it from direct light and moisture. Do not freeze the solution, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

Latanoprost is applied as a single ophthalmic drop to the affected eye(s) once daily, usually in the evening. The patient should wash hands, avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface, and gently close the eye after instillation.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions, uveitis, macular edema, and paradoxical increase in intra‑ocular pressure. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden eye pain, vision loss, or signs of an allergic response.

Latanoprost should be avoided in patients with active ocular infections, hypersensitivity to prostaglandin analogs, or a history of severe uveitis. It is also contraindicated in individuals for whom a prostaglandin‑mediated increase in uveoscleral outflow is undesirable, as determined by the clinician.
