Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanoprost belongs to the prostaglandin analog class used to manage ocular pressure‑related conditions.

  • Open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intra‑ocular pressure to prevent optic nerve damage.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers eye pressure to decrease the risk of developing glaucoma.
  • Pre‑glaucoma ocular hypertension: maintains target pressure to delay progression to glaucoma.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost binds to prostaglandin F (FP) receptors in the ciliary body, enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This increased drainage lowers intra‑ocular pressure, helping to protect the optic nerve from pressure‑induced damage.

Side Effects

Latanoprost may cause ocular and systemic reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness: mild conjunctival hyperemia.
  • Eye irritation: transient burning or stinging sensation.
  • Increased eyelash growth: longer, thicker lashes.
  • Iris pigmentation: gradual darkening of eye color.
  • Blurred vision: temporary focus changes.
  • Foreign body sensation: feeling of grit in the eye.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Uveitis: inflammation of the uveal tract.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea affecting vision.
  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, rash, or anaphylaxis.
  • Vision loss: sudden decrease in visual acuity.
  • Paradoxical IOP increase: unexpected rise in eye pressure.
  • Systemic hypersensitivity: fever, chills, or malaise.

Precautions & Warnings

Before prescribing Latanoprost, consider patient‑specific factors and monitor for adverse events.

  • Assess baseline intra‑ocular pressure: establish target pressure before therapy.
  • Monitor iris color changes: inform patients of possible permanent darkening.
  • Avoid use in active ocular infection: may exacerbate inflammation.
  • Counsel on eyelash growth: discuss cosmetic changes.
  • Discontinue if hypersensitivity occurs: stop treatment immediately.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost can interact with other ocular or systemic agents, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent prostaglandin analogs: may cause excessive IOP reduction.
  • Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: increase risk of ocular side effects.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical corticosteroids: may diminish Latanoprost efficacy.
  • Other ocular hypotensive agents: monitor IOP for additive effects.
  • Contact lens wear: may increase irritation; advise removal before instillation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Stadafarma is an ophthalmic solution containing latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2α analog used to lower intra‑ocular pressure in patients with open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, helping to protect the optic nerve and preserve vision.

Latanoprost binds to FP receptors in the eye’s ciliary body, increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This enhanced drainage reduces intra‑ocular pressure, which is the primary therapeutic goal in glaucoma and ocular hypertension management.

The prescribed dose of Latanoprost Stadafarma 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 the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by the prescribing clinician.

To 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 necessary import documentation.

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog, generally considered more effective at lowering intra‑ocular pressure than many beta‑blockers and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, with once‑daily dosing. Its side‑effect profile includes ocular changes such as iris darkening, which differ from the systemic effects seen with some alternatives.

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

The medication is applied as a single drop into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Patients should wash their hands, 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 uveitis, corneal edema, paradoxical increase in intra‑ocular pressure, and severe allergic reactions. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden vision loss, intense eye pain, or signs of systemic hypersensitivity.

Latanoprost Stadafarma should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any excipients, active ocular infections, or inflammation. Caution is also advised for patients with a history of uveitis or corneal disease, and the prescriber should evaluate suitability.
