Latanoprost

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analogue medication that is used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high pressure in the eye). This prescription eye drop is applied once daily, typically in the evening, to lower intraocular pressure and help prevent further damage to the optic nerve. Latanoprost works by reducing the production of fluid in the front part of the eye, which helps to decrease eye pressure. It is important to use this medication as directed by your healthcare professional to achieve the best results and avoid potential side effects such as darkening of the eyelid skin, changes in eyelash growth, and redness of the eye. Latanoprost should not be used by individuals with a history of hypersensitivity to the drug or its excipients. Regular follow-up appointments with your eye care professional are essential to monitor the effectiveness of the medication and to detect any potential side effects or complications.
