Latanoprost 0.005% w/v Eye Drops
₹399.00
Latanoprost 0.005% w/v eye drops are a prescription medication used to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension by lowering high pressure inside the eye. The medication works by increasing the natural flow of fluid (aqueous humor) out of the eye into the bloodstream, which helps prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Latanoprost 0.005% w/v.
- Mechanism: It is a prostaglandin analogue that increases uveoscleral outflow of fluid from the eye.
- Dosage: Typically, one drop is administered in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening/night. Using it more often can make it less effective.
- Administration Notes:
- Apply pressure on the corner of the eye near the nose for about 1 minute after instilling the drop to minimize systemic absorption.
- If using other eye medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between drops.
- Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative (benzalkonium chloride) can be absorbed by the lenses.
Potential Side Effects
Common side effects include:
- Gradual change in eye color (brown pigmentation of the iris), which may be permanent.
- Changes to eyelashes (increased length, thickness, or number) and darkening of eyelid skin. These changes typically disappear after stopping treatment.
- Eye pain, irritation, dryness, or blurred vision.
Storage
- Unopened bottles should be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F).
- After opening, the bottle can be stored at room temperature (up to 25°C or 77°F) and should be discarded after four to six weeks.
It is important to use this medicine regularly as prescribed by a doctor to maintain controlled eye pressure and prevent vision loss.
