Latanoprost is a medication used primarily to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It belongs to a class of drugs called prostaglandin analogs and is available in the form of eye drops. Latanoprost works by reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eyes, which can help prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision.
Glaucoma Treatment: Primarily used in the management of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), thereby slowing disease progression and minimizing vision loss.
Cosmetic Use (Off-Label): While not FDA-approved for this purpose, some individuals have reported using latanoprost eyedrops off-label for the potential to promote eyelash growth, length, and darkness.
Prostaglandin Analogue: Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analogue that mimics the action of naturally occurring prostaglandins in the eye.
Increases Aqueous Humor Outflow: It works by binding to prostaglandin receptors in the ciliary muscle and trabecular meshwork, causing relaxation and remodeling of these tissues. This leads to increased outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, reducing IOP.
Selective Action: Its selective action on the uveoscleral outflow pathway minimizes side effects commonly associated with other IOP-lowering medications, such as conjunctival hyperemia.
Long-lasting Effect: The drug's effects are sustained over 24 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing, improving patient compliance and convenience.
