Indications & Clinical Uses

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

  • Primary open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intra‑ocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers pressure to prevent development of glaucoma.
  • Secondary open‑angle glaucoma: helps control pressure when caused by other ocular conditions.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the ciliary body, activating a cascade that remodels the extracellular matrix and enhances uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. The increased 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 darkening: gradual hyperpigmentation of the iris.
  • Eye irritation: burning or stinging sensation.
  • Blurred vision: transient visual disturbance.
  • Foreign body sensation: feeling of grit in the eye.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe eye inflammation: uveitis or iritis.
  • Allergic reaction: swelling, rash, or severe itching.
  • Vision loss: sudden decrease in visual acuity.
  • Paradoxical IOP increase: unexpected rise in pressure.
  • Ocular infection: risk of bacterial or fungal infection.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea.

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Latanoprost, consider the following safety measures.

  • Monitor intra‑ocular pressure: regular eye examinations are required.
  • Avoid use in active ocular infection: infection may worsen.
  • Caution with a history of uveitis: may exacerbate inflammation.
  • Do not wear contact lenses during treatment: lenses can trap the solution.
  • Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established, use only if clearly needed.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost may interact with other ocular or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Other prostaglandin analog eye drops: additive pressure‑lowering effect may cause excessive reduction.
  • Topical non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs: may diminish Latanoprost efficacy.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: combined use can lead to overly low intra‑ocular pressure.
  • Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: additive IOP‑lowering effect.
  • Anticholinergic eye drops: may affect pupil size and ocular dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Stada is an ophthalmic solution containing the prostaglandin analog latanoprost. It is prescribed to lower intra‑ocular pressure in patients with primary 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’s ciliary body, triggering remodeling of the extracellular matrix and increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This enhanced outflow reduces intra‑ocular pressure, which is the primary therapeutic goal in glaucoma management.

The dosing regimen for Latanoprost Stada is determined by the prescribing eye‑care professional. Typically, one 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 definitively 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 in consultation with a 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 once‑daily dosing and a strong IOP‑lowering effect. Compared with beta‑blocker or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drops, latanoprost often provides greater pressure reduction with a favorable dosing convenience, though individual response may vary.

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

The solution is applied as a single drop into the conjunctival sac of the prescribed eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Patients should wash their hands before use, avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any surface, and wait at least five minutes before applying other eye medications.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe eye inflammation (uveitis or iritis), allergic reactions such as swelling or rash, paradoxical increase in intra‑ocular pressure, and potential vision loss. Any sudden eye pain, redness, or visual changes should prompt immediate medical evaluation.

Latanoprost Stada is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation. It should also be avoided in individuals with active ocular infections or inflammation until these conditions are resolved.
