Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to manage conditions that involve elevated intra‑ocular pressure.

  • Open-angle glaucoma: lowers intra‑ocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: reduces intra‑ocular pressure to prevent development of glaucoma.
  • Secondary glaucoma: decreases pressure in certain secondary forms, aiding visual field preservation.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the ciliary muscle, activating a cascade that remodels the extracellular matrix and increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This enhanced outflow reduces intra‑ocular pressure, helping to control glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause ocular and systemic reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness: mild conjunctival hyperemia.
  • Eyelash growth: increased length and thickness.
  • Eye irritation: transient burning or stinging.
  • Blurred vision: temporary visual disturbance.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, rash, or anaphylaxis.
  • Uveitis: inflammation of the uveal tract.
  • Macular edema: fluid accumulation affecting central vision.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Latanoprost, consider the following precautions.

  • Monitor intra‑ocular pressure: regular measurements are required.
  • Assess for ocular infection: avoid use if active infection is present.
  • Avoid contact lenses: discontinue use 15 minutes before and after instillation.
  • Caution in corneal disease: evaluate risk in patients with corneal abnormalities.
  • Store at room temperature: keep bottle in original packaging, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost may interact with other ophthalmic or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may reduce Latanoprost efficacy.
  • Combination with other prostaglandin analogs: risk of additive ocular side effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: additive intra‑ocular pressure lowering effect.
  • Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: enhanced pressure reduction.
  • Systemic prostaglandin analogs: potential systemic effects requiring observation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Eg is an ophthalmic solution indicated for the treatment of open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By lowering intra‑ocular pressure, it helps to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve visual function in adult patients.

Latanoprost acts as a prostaglandin F (FP) receptor agonist in the eye. Activation of these receptors remodels the extracellular matrix in the ciliary muscle, increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor and thereby reducing intra‑ocular pressure.

The dosing regimen for Latanoprost Eg is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, one drop is instilled in the affected eye(s) once daily, but the exact dose and timing should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Latanoprost’s pregnancy category is listed as unknown. It should only be used during pregnancy or lactation if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and after consultation with a healthcare professional.

To order Latanoprost Eg, 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.

The primary alternative class for glaucoma includes beta‑blocker eye drops such as timolol. While beta‑blockers reduce aqueous humor production, Latanoprost increases uveoscleral outflow. Latanoprost often provides a once‑daily regimen with a different side‑effect profile, making it a preferred option for many patients.

Latanoprost should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect the bottle from light and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children. Do not freeze the solution.

Instill one drop of Latanoprost into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface, and wait at least 15 minutes before inserting contact lenses.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions, uveitis (inflammation of the uveal tract), and macular edema, which can affect central vision. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden eye pain, vision loss, or signs of an allergic response.

Latanoprost should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its excipients, and it is contraindicated in eyes with active infections or inflammation. Caution is also advised for patients with corneal disease or a history of intra‑ocular inflammation.
