Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanoprost is indicated for conditions affecting ocular pressure and is used in glaucoma management.

  • Open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intra‑ocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers eye pressure to prevent development of glaucoma.
  • Secondary open‑angle glaucoma: helps control pressure when glaucoma is due to another ocular condition.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the ciliary muscle, activating the uveoscleral outflow pathway. This increases the drainage of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral route, thereby reducing intra‑ocular pressure and helping to preserve optic nerve function.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause a range of ocular and systemic reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness: mild conjunctival hyperemia.
  • Increased eyelash growth: longer, thicker lashes.
  • Iris darkening: gradual brownish pigmentation.
  • Eye irritation: burning or stinging sensation.
  • Blurred vision: transient visual disturbance after instillation.
  • Foreign body sensation: feeling of something in the eye.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe eye inflammation: uveitis or iritis requiring medical attention.
  • Allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash around the eye.
  • Paradoxical IOP increase: unexpected rise in pressure.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea affecting vision.
  • Ocular infection: risk of bacterial or fungal infection.
  • Vision loss: rare but possible if complications arise.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Latanoprost, consider the following safety measures.

  • Assess intra‑ocular pressure: confirm baseline measurements.
  • Monitor iris color: note any gradual darkening over time.
  • Avoid use with active ocular infection: postpone treatment until resolved.
  • Caution in patients with uveitis history: evaluate risk of inflammation.
  • Do not combine with other prostaglandin analog eye drops: may increase adverse effects.
  • 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.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use of other prostaglandin analog eye drops: may amplify side effects.
  • Combination with systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: can reduce IOP‑lowering efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: additive pressure‑lowering effect, monitor IOP.
  • Ocular corticosteroids: may diminish therapeutic response.
  • Antihistamine eye drops: possible increased ocular irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Polpharma is a prescription ophthalmic solution used to lower intra‑ocular pressure in adults with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing eye pressure, it helps prevent optic nerve damage and slows the progression of glaucoma.

Latanoprost works by activating prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the eye, which enhances the uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This increased drainage lowers intra‑ocular pressure, the primary risk factor for glaucoma progression.

The prescribed dose is determined by the treating eye‑care professional. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, but the exact regimen 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 possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.

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 greater IOP reduction with once‑daily dosing compared with beta‑blockers like timolol. It is often preferred for its efficacy and convenient dosing, though individual response and tolerance may vary.

Store the ophthalmic solution at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed in its original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Do not freeze the product.

Latanoprost Polpharma is applied as a single drop into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s). Tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and instill the drop without touching the tip to the eye or lashes. Close the eye gently for a few minutes to allow absorption.

Serious risks include severe eye inflammation (uveitis or iritis), allergic reactions such as swelling or rash around the eye, paradoxical increase in intra‑ocular pressure, corneal edema, and, in rare cases, vision loss. Prompt medical evaluation is required if any of these occur.

Patients with active ocular infections, known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any excipients, or those who have experienced severe inflammation with prostaglandin analogs should avoid the product. Use in children is generally not recommended unless specifically prescribed by an eye specialist.
