Indications & Clinical Uses

  • Latanoprost belongs to the prostaglandin analog class and is used to manage conditions that involve elevated intraocular pressure.
  • Open-angle glaucoma: reduces intraocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers pressure to prevent conversion to glaucoma.
  • Elevated intraocular pressure (any cause): provides pressure reduction to protect optic nerve health.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that binds to FP receptors in the ciliary body, enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. By increasing this unconventional drainage pathway, the drug effectively reduces intraocular pressure, helping to preserve optic nerve function in glaucomatous eyes.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness or hyperemia.
  • Increased eyelash length and thickness.
  • Darkening of the iris color.
  • Transient blurred vision or foreign‑body sensation.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe ocular inflammation (uveitis or iritis).
  • Allergic reactions such as eyelid swelling or rash.
  • Paradoxical increase in intraocular pressure.
  • Corneal edema or endothelial dysfunction.
  • Vision loss due to optic nerve compromise.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Before initiating Latanoprost therapy, clinicians should consider several safety measures.
  • Monitor intraocular pressure: schedule regular tonometry assessments.
  • Assess for ocular infections: avoid use if active conjunctivitis or keratitis is present.
  • Avoid contact lens wear: discontinue lenses during treatment to reduce irritation.
  • Caution in patients with asthma: prostaglandin analogues may exacerbate bronchospasm.
  • 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, influencing efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use of other prostaglandin analogues: may increase local side‑effects.
  • Combination with systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: additive pressure‑lowering effect may lead to hypotony.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Co‑administration with beta‑blocker eye drops: additive intraocular pressure reduction.
  • Use with alpha‑agonist eye drops: potential for excessive pressure lowering.
  • Systemic antihistamines: may reduce ocular absorption of the drug.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Upjohn Uk is prescribed to lower intraocular pressure in patients with open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By reducing pressure, it helps to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve visual function.

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that activates FP receptors in the eye’s ciliary body. This activation increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, allowing fluid to drain more efficiently and thereby lowering intraocular pressure.

The dosing regimen for Latanoprost Upjohn Uk is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, but the exact schedule must 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 with 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 offers once‑daily dosing and strong intraocular pressure reduction. Compared with beta‑blocker or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drops, prostaglandin analogues often have a more favorable dosing convenience but may cause distinctive cosmetic changes such as iris darkening.

Latanoprost should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the bottle from light and moisture, and keep the cap tightly closed when not in use.

Latanoprost is applied as an ophthalmic solution. The patient places a single drop into the prescribed eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening, and avoids touching the tip of the bottle to the eye or any other surface.

Serious risks, though rare, include severe ocular inflammation (uveitis or iritis), paradoxical increase in intraocular pressure, corneal edema, and allergic reactions that may affect the eyelids or surrounding skin. Any sudden vision changes or pain should prompt immediate medical evaluation.

Patients with active ocular infections, known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation, or those who have had a severe reaction to other prostaglandin analogues should avoid using this medication. The prescriber should assess suitability on an individual basis.
