Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to reduce intra‑ocular pressure in glaucoma‑related conditions.

  • Open-angle glaucoma: lowers intra‑ocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage.
  • Ocular hypertension: reduces elevated eye pressure to lower risk of progression to glaucoma.
  • Secondary open-angle glaucoma: helps control pressure when caused by other ocular diseases.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost acts as an agonist of prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the eye, enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. By increasing this unconventional drainage pathway, it effectively reduces intra‑ocular pressure, which is the primary therapeutic goal in glaucoma and ocular hypertension management.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness: mild conjunctival hyperemia.
  • Increased eyelash growth: longer, thicker lashes.
  • Iris darkening: gradual pigmentation change.
  • Eye irritation: transient burning or stinging.
  • Blurred vision: temporary visual disturbance.
  • Periorbital skin darkening: mild hyperpigmentation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe eye inflammation: uveitis or iritis requiring medical attention.
  • Allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash around the eye.
  • Vision changes: sudden loss of vision or visual field defects.
  • Ocular infection: signs of bacterial or fungal infection.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea affecting clarity.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating Latanoprost therapy, consider the following safety measures.

  • Monitor intra‑ocular pressure: ensure adequate reduction and avoid hypotony.
  • Assess for ocular infection: do not use if active eye infection is present.
  • Avoid contact lens use initially: lenses may absorb the medication and cause irritation.
  • Inform ophthalmologist of upcoming eye surgery: discontinue before procedures as advised.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

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

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other prostaglandin analog eye drops: may cause excessive ocular irritation.
  • Combination with systemic beta‑blockers: additive intra‑ocular pressure lowering may lead to hypotony.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Use with topical corticosteroids: may reduce Latanoprost's IOP‑lowering effect.
  • Use with contact lenses: may cause drug deposits and discomfort.
  • Concomitant systemic NSAIDs: potential slight reduction in therapeutic response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Polpharma is an ophthalmic solution containing the prostaglandin analog Latanoprost. It is prescribed to lower intra‑ocular pressure in adults with open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision.

Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the eye, stimulating the uveoscleral outflow pathway. This increased drainage of aqueous humor reduces intra‑ocular pressure, which is the primary therapeutic target in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

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

The safety of Latanoprost in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. It is classified as pregnancy category unknown, and use should be considered only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.

To order Latanoprost Polpharma, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, and will request trade or institutional credentials. The team then replies with pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Latanoprost belongs to the prostaglandin analog class, which generally provides greater intra‑ocular pressure reduction with once‑daily dosing compared with beta‑blockers or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. It is often preferred as first‑line therapy due to its efficacy and convenient dosing, though individual response and tolerance may vary.

Latanoprost Polpharma should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect the solution from light and moisture, and keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to maintain stability.

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

Serious risks, though rare, include severe eye inflammation such as uveitis or iritis, allergic reactions with swelling or rash around the eye, sudden vision loss, and corneal edema. Any of these symptoms require immediate medical evaluation.

Latanoprost Polpharma should not be used by individuals with known hypersensitivity to Latanoprost or any component of the formulation, or by patients with active ocular infections. Caution is also advised for those who have had recent eye surgery until cleared by an ophthalmologist.
