Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to lower intra‑ocular pressure in glaucoma‑related conditions.
  • Primary open-angle glaucoma: reduces intra‑ocular pressure and slows disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers intra‑ocular pressure to prevent conversion to glaucoma.
  • Secondary open-angle glaucoma: helps control pressure when other causes are present.

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, thereby reducing intra‑ocular pressure.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause several ocular and systemic reactions.

Common Side Effects

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

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing.
  • Uveitis: inflammation of the uveal tract.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea affecting vision.
  • Macular edema: fluid accumulation in the central retina.
  • Paradoxical intra‑ocular pressure rise: unexpected pressure increase.
  • Endophthalmitis: intra‑ocular infection requiring urgent care.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before using Latanoprost, consider the following safety measures.
  • Pregnancy: safety not established; avoid unless benefits outweigh risks.
  • Breastfeeding: unknown excretion; use with caution.
  • Contraindications: active ocular infection or inflammation.
  • Contact lens wearers: may cause deposits; remove lenses before instillation.
  • Monitoring: intra‑ocular pressure should be assessed regularly.
  • 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 with other prostaglandin analogs may cause excessive pressure lowering.
  • Topical non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs can reduce Latanoprost efficacy.
  • Systemic prostaglandin analogs may increase risk of systemic side effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Beta‑blocker eye drops: monitor for additive pressure reduction.

  • Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor eye drops: watch for cumulative intra‑ocular pressure effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Stada is an eye‑drop formulation of latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2α analog prescribed to lower intra‑ocular pressure in patients with primary open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Latanoprost activates prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the eye, which remodels the extracellular matrix of the ciliary body and increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This enhanced drainage reduces intra‑ocular pressure, the key factor in glaucoma progression.

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 timing should follow the prescriber’s instructions.

Safety data for latanoprost in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It is classified as pregnancy category unknown, so it should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. Breastfeeding mothers should discuss risks with their healthcare provider.

To request Latanoprost Stada, 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 required import documentation.

Latanoprost belongs to the prostaglandin analog class, which generally offers once‑daily dosing and strong intra‑ocular pressure reduction. Compared with beta‑blocker or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drops, prostaglandin analogs often have a more favorable dosing convenience and comparable efficacy, though side‑effect profiles differ.

Latanoprost Stada should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect the bottle from light and moisture, and keep it out of reach of children. Do not freeze the product.

Latanoprost Stada is applied as a sterile eye‑drop solution. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, and place one drop into the conjunctival sac. Close the eye gently and avoid blinking excessively for a few seconds.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions, uveitis, corneal or macular edema, and paradoxical increases in intra‑ocular pressure. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden pain, vision loss, redness, or signs of infection.

Latanoprost Stada is contraindicated in individuals with active ocular infections, inflammation, or hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation. Patients with a history of severe ocular inflammation should discuss alternatives with their eye‑care professional.
