What is Latanoprost?
Latanoprost acts as a synthetic prostaglandin F2-alpha analogue. By increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye, it reduces the pressure that potentially damages the optic nerve. It serves as a standardised approach for long-term management of conditions related to excessive ocular fluid retention.
What Latanoprost is used for
This medication addresses chronic conditions where intraocular pressure is elevated. Beyond managing primary Glaucoma, it is used to treat Ocular Hypertension to prevent or slow vision loss.
