Indications & Clinical Uses

Latanostad is a prostaglandin analog that reduces intra‑ocular pressure in glaucoma‑related conditions.

  • Primary open‑angle glaucoma: lowers intra‑ocular pressure to slow disease progression.
  • Ocular hypertension: reduces elevated eye pressure to prevent conversion to glaucoma.
  • Secondary ocular hypertension (if prescribed): helps control pressure after ocular surgery or trauma.

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 reduces intra‑ocular pressure, thereby helping to protect the optic nerve from pressure‑related damage.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Increased iris pigmentation: darkening of the eye color.
  • Eyelash growth: longer, thicker lashes.
  • Conjunctival hyperemia: mild eye redness.
  • Eye irritation or foreign‑body sensation.
  • Periorbital skin darkening.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Uveitis or iritis: inflammation inside the eye.
  • Corneal edema: swelling of the cornea.
  • Severe allergic reaction: swelling, rash, or difficulty breathing.
  • Vision loss: sudden decrease in visual acuity.
  • Persistent eye pain or pressure.
  • Endophthalmitis: intra‑ocular infection (rare).

Precautions & Warnings

Before using Latanostad, consider the following safety measures.

  • Pregnancy: consult a healthcare professional; safety data are limited.
  • Breastfeeding: discuss potential exposure with a physician.
  • Pre‑existing eye conditions: inform the prescriber of uveitis, ocular infections, or corneal disease.
  • Contact lens wearers: remove lenses before instillation and wait before reinserting.
  • Systemic prostaglandin sensitivity: avoid if known hypersensitivity exists.
  • Store below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture.

Avoid Interactions

Latanostad can interact with other ocular or systemic agents.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may reduce efficacy.
  • Other prostaglandin analogues: concurrent use can increase side‑effect risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Beta‑blocker eye drops: additive intra‑ocular pressure lowering effect.

  • Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: may enhance pressure reduction.
  • Anticholinergic eye drops: potential for altered ocular surface response.

Frequently Asked Questions

Latanostad contains latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog indicated for lowering intra‑ocular pressure in primary open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It helps prevent optic nerve damage by improving aqueous humor outflow.

Latanoprost mimics prostaglandin F2α and activates FP receptors in the ciliary body, increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor. This enhanced drainage reduces intra‑ocular pressure, which is crucial in managing glaucoma.

The dosing regimen for Latanostad is determined by the prescribing ophthalmologist. Typically, one drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, but exact instructions should follow the prescriber’s order.

Safety data for latanoprost in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using the product.

To order Latanostad, 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.

Latanostad (latanoprost) is a first‑line prostaglandin analogue, often preferred for its once‑daily dosing and strong intra‑ocular pressure‑lowering effect. Compared with beta‑blocker eye drops, it typically offers greater pressure reduction with fewer systemic side effects, though individual response may vary.

Latanostad should be stored below 25°C in its original container, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze the solution, and keep it out of reach of children.

Latanostad is applied as an ophthalmic solution. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place one drop into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily, usually in the evening.

Serious risks, though rare, include uveitis or iritis, corneal edema, severe allergic reactions, and sudden vision loss. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience eye pain, redness, swelling, or any sudden change in vision.

Latanostad should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation, active ocular infections, or severe inflammation of the eye. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use only under medical advice.
