Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog indicated for conditions that require reduction of intra‑ocular pressure.

  • Primary open‑angle glaucoma: lowers intra‑ocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: reduces elevated eye pressure to prevent conversion to glaucoma.
  • Pseudoexfoliative glaucoma: improves aqueous outflow and decreases pressure levels.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that binds to FP receptors in the ciliary muscle, promoting remodeling of the extracellular matrix and increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. The enhanced outflow reduces intra‑ocular pressure, providing therapeutic benefit in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause ocular and peri‑ocular reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness: mild conjunctival hyperemia.
  • Increased eyelash growth: longer, thicker lashes.
  • Iris pigmentation change: gradual darkening of eye colour.
  • Eye irritation: foreign‑body sensation or mild discomfort.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Uveitis: inflammation of the uveal tract.
  • Macular edema: swelling of the central retina.
  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash around the eye.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing Latanoprost, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

  • Baseline intra‑ocular pressure assessment: confirm elevated pressure before treatment.
  • Monitor iris colour changes: inform patients of possible permanent pigmentation.
  • Avoid use in active ocular inflammation: may exacerbate condition.
  • Counsel on eyelash changes: patients may notice increased length or thickness.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost can interact with other ocular or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Cycloplegic agents: may reduce the IOP‑lowering effect of Latanoprost.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical corticosteroids: can antagonize Latanoprost’s efficacy.
  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may increase ocular irritation.
  • Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: additive IOP‑lowering effect may require monitoring.
  • Alpha‑agonist eye drops: potential for additive ocular side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Stada is prescribed to lower intra‑ocular pressure in adults with primary open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By reducing pressure, it helps prevent optic nerve damage and visual field loss associated with these conditions.

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that activates FP receptors in the eye, leading to remodeling of the extracellular matrix in the ciliary body. This enhances uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, thereby decreasing intra‑ocular pressure.

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

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 analogue class, which generally provides greater IOP reduction with once‑daily dosing compared with beta‑blockers or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. Its side‑effect profile is distinct, often causing cosmetic changes such as increased eyelash length and iris darkening.

Latanoprost Stada should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the bottle from light and moisture to maintain stability and potency.

Latanoprost is administered as an ophthalmic solution. The patient places one drop into the prescribed eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening, avoiding contact with the tip of the bottle to maintain sterility.

Serious risks, though rare, include uveitis, macular edema, and severe allergic reactions that may cause swelling, itching, or rash around the eye. Any sudden vision changes or severe eye pain should prompt immediate medical evaluation.

Latanoprost is contraindicated in patients with active ocular inflammation, such., uveitis, or ocular infection. Individuals with known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation should also avoid its use.
