Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to manage conditions that involve elevated intraocular pressure.
  • Open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intraocular pressure, helping to preserve visual field and prevent optic nerve damage.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers intraocular pressure to reduce the risk of progression to glaucoma.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost is a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F2α that binds to FP receptors in the ciliary body, enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This increased outflow reduces intraocular pressure, thereby helping to control glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Conjunctival hyperemia (eye redness)
  • Increased eyelash growth
  • Darkening of iris pigmentation
  • Eye irritation or foreign‑body sensation
  • Blurred vision
  • Mild eye pain

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Ocular inflammation (uveitis)
  • Severe allergic reaction (angio‑edema)
  • Corneal edema or macular edema
  • Significant changes in visual acuity
  • Persistent eye pain
  • Acute angle‑closure glaucoma (rare)

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before initiating therapy, clinicians should consider several safety aspects.
  • Monitor intraocular pressure regularly: ensure therapeutic effect and detect over‑reduction.
  • Assess for ocular infections: avoid use if active infection is present.
  • Evaluate history of uveitis: prostaglandin analogs may exacerbate inflammation.
  • Use caution in patients with asthma: systemic prostaglandin effects can trigger bronchospasm.
  • Avoid contact lens wear during treatment: lenses may absorb the drug and cause irritation.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep the bottle tightly closed, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost can interact with other ocular or systemic agents, affecting efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concomitant use with other prostaglandin analog eye drops: may increase risk of ocular side effects.
  • Use with non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: can diminish Latanoprost's IOP‑lowering effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: additive intraocular pressure reduction may require monitoring.
  • Alpha‑agonist eye drops: combined therapy may enhance pressure‑lowering but increase irritation.
  • Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: monitor for excessive IOP reduction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Eg is an ophthalmic solution containing the active ingredient Latanoprost. It is prescribed to lower intraocular pressure in patients with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision.

Latanoprost mimics prostaglandin F2α and binds to FP receptors in the eye’s ciliary body. This binding enhances the uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, which reduces intraocular pressure, the primary therapeutic goal in glaucoma management.

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

The safety of Latanoprost in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by a qualified healthcare professional.

To place an order, 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 intraocular pressure reduction. Compared with beta‑blocker eye drops, it often provides greater pressure lowering with a different side‑effect profile, making it a first‑line option for many patients.

Latanoprost Eg should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from light and moisture, and discard any solution that appears discolored or contaminated.

Latanoprost is applied as a single drop to the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily, usually in the evening. The patient should avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any other surface to maintain sterility.

Serious risks, though rare, include ocular inflammation such as uveitis, corneal or macular edema, and severe allergic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden eye pain, vision changes, or signs of an allergic response.

Latanoprost is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its components, and it should be used with caution in individuals with active ocular infections, recent ocular surgery, or a history of uveitis.
