Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to manage ocular conditions characterized by elevated intra‑ocular pressure.

  • Primary open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intra‑ocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: lowers eye pressure to prevent conversion to glaucoma.
  • Secondary open‑angle glaucoma: decreases pressure in a similar manner.

How It Works

  • Latanoprost is a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin F₂α that binds to FP receptors on the ciliary body epithelium. Activation of these G‑protein‑coupled receptors enhances remodeling of the extracellular matrix, increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. The resulting increase in outflow reduces intra‑ocular pressure, providing therapeutic benefit in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Eye redness: mild conjunctival hyperemia.
  • Eye irritation: burning or stinging sensation.
  • Increased iris pigmentation: gradual darkening of iris color.
  • Eyelash changes: lengthening or thickening of eyelashes.
  • Blurred vision: temporary visual disturbance.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Anterior uveitis: inflammation of the anterior uveal tract.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea affecting vision.
  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash requiring medical attention.

Precautions & Warnings

Before initiating therapy, consider the following precautions.

  • Pregnancy: safety not established; avoid unless benefit outweighs risk.
  • Breastfeeding: unknown; consider potential risk to infant.
  • Contact lens wearers: may cause deposits; remove lenses before instillation.
  • Concurrent ocular surgery: postpone use until postoperative healing is complete.
  • Monitor intra‑ocular pressure: ensure adequate response after initiation.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanoprost may interact with other ophthalmic or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Prostaglandin analogs with other intra‑ocular pressure‑lowering agents: risk of excessive pressure reduction.
  • Systemic NSAIDs: may diminish prostaglandin effect.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Beta‑blocker eye drops: additive IOP‑lowering effect; monitor pressure.
  • Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: combined therapy may increase efficacy; watch for side effects.
  • Anticholinergic eye drops: possible reduced efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanoprost Viatris is indicated for the reduction of intra‑ocular pressure in patients with primary open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. By lowering eye pressure, it helps to protect the optic nerve and preserve visual function.

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F₂α analogue that activates FP receptors in the ciliary body. This activation remodels extracellular matrix proteins, enhancing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, which in turn lowers intra‑ocular pressure.

The dosing regimen 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 during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It is generally advised to avoid use unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant.

Enquiries are submitted via the product page on gnhindia.com, where you specify the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

The most common alternative class is beta‑blocker eye drops such as timolol. Latanoprost often provides greater IOP reduction with once‑daily dosing and a different side‑effect profile, whereas beta‑blockers may cause systemic cardiovascular effects.

Store the ophthalmic solution at room temperature, protected from light and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed and retain it in the original packaging until use to maintain stability.

Latanoprost is applied as an eye drop. The recommended technique is to wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a pocket, and place one drop into the conjunctival sac without touching the bottle tip to the eye.

Serious but rare adverse events include anterior uveitis, corneal edema, and severe allergic reactions such as swelling or rash. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience pain, vision changes, or signs of inflammation.

Latanoprost is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any of its excipients, and in eyes with active intra‑ocular inflammation or infection. Caution is also advised for patients with narrow-angle glaucoma.
