SKU: Latoprost Eye Drop Categories: , ,
Latoprost Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution prescribed to lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Elevated eye pressure can cause vision impairment and potentially lead to permanent blindness if left untreated. The medication works by enhancing the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye into the bloodstream.

This eye drop formulation is approved for use in both adults and pediatric patients, either as monotherapy or in combination with other ocular medications. Consistent use as directed by your healthcare provider is essential for optimal therapeutic results. Discontinuation may result in increased intraocular pressure and potential vision damage. Always inspect the bottle seal before initial use and discard if compromised. Contact lens wearers should remove lenses prior to administration and wait at least 15 minutes before reinsertion.

Common adverse effects may include changes in eyelash growth, ocular discomfort, and photophobia. Other potential effects include visual disturbances, ocular dryness, gradual iris pigmentation changes, and rare ocular reactions. Consult your physician regarding any side effects, as they may recommend management strategies or alternative treatments. Temporary visual blurring may occur – avoid driving until vision clears. Contraindicated during pregnancy, when attempting conception, and while breastfeeding.

THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS

  • Management of open-angle glaucoma
  • Treatment of ocular hypertension

CLINICAL BENEFITS

In Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma

Latoprost Eye Drop effectively reduces elevated intraocular pressure, a key risk factor for glaucoma progression. By improving uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, it helps prevent optic nerve damage that can lead to irreversible vision loss. This prostaglandin analog may be prescribed as primary therapy or adjunctive treatment with other IOP-lowering medications. Strict adherence to prescribed dosing frequency is crucial, as improper use may diminish therapeutic efficacy. Administer only to the affected eye(s) as directed. Treatment cessation may result in uncontrolled intraocular pressure and potential vision deterioration.

ADVERSE EFFECTS

Most adverse reactions are transient and resolve with continued therapy as ocular tolerance develops. Consult your ophthalmologist if symptoms persist or cause significant discomfort.

Frequently Reported Ocular Effects

  • Enhanced eyelash growth (trichomegaly)
  • Ocular irritation or discomfort
  • Photophobia
  • Ocular burning sensation
  • Pruritus oculi
  • Foreign body sensation
  • Periocular skin irritation
  • Ocular stinging
  • Conjunctival hyperemia

ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES

For ophthalmic use only. Instill as prescribed, typically once daily in the evening. Prior to administration, wash hands thoroughly. Avoid contact between dropper tip and any surface to prevent contamination. Tilt head back, gently pull down lower eyelid, and apply prescribed number of drops into the conjunctival sac. Blot excess solution without rubbing the eye.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTION

Latoprost is a synthetic prostaglandin F2α analog that selectively activates FP prostanoid receptors, increasing uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor through matrix metalloproteinase induction in the ciliary muscle, thereby reducing elevated intraocular pressure.
