What is Latanoprost?

Latanoprost, the active ingredient in Latanoprost Stada, is a prostaglandin analog presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular (topical) use. It is indicated for primary open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in adults, helping to lower intra‑ocular pressure with once‑daily instillation.\n\nGNH India supplies Latanoprost Stada as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Latanoprost used for?

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma and ocular hypertension.\n\nPrimary open‑angle glaucoma: reduces intraocular pressure and slows disease progression.\nOcular hypertension: lowers elevated eye pressure to help prevent development of glaucoma.

What are the side effects of Latanoprost?

Latanoprost may cause ocular and systemic reactions.\n\nCommon Side Effects:\n- Eye redness or hyperemia\n- Increased eyelash length and thickness\n- Darkening of iris pigment\n- Mild eye irritation or foreign‑body sensation\n\nSerious or Rare Side Effects:\n- Severe allergic reaction (e.g., angio‑edema)\n- Uveitis or intraocular inflammation\n- Corneal edema or keratitis\n- Persistent eye pain or vision loss

What precautions apply to Latanoprost?

Before using Latanoprost, consider the following precautions.\n\nMonitor intraocular pressure: measure pressure regularly after initiation.\nAssess for ocular infections: avoid use if active infection is present.\nHistory of uveitis: monitor closely for inflammation.\nAvoid concurrent use with other prostaglandin analog eye drops: may increase side‑effects.\nStore at room temperature: keep bottle in original packaging, protect from light and moisture.

What does Latanoprost interact with?

Latanoprost may interact with other ophthalmic agents.\n\nMajor Interactions (Avoid):\n- Concurrent use with other prostaglandin analog eye drops: additive IOP‑lowering effect.\n- Use with cycloplegic agents: may reduce efficacy.\n- Combination with ocular anesthetics: increased risk of corneal toxicity.\n\nModerate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drops: may affect ocular surface.\n- Systemic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors: additive IOP reduction.

Frequently asked questions

What is Latanoprost Stada used for?+
Latanoprost Stada is an ophthalmic solution containing the prostaglandin analog latanoprost. It is prescribed to lower intra‑ocular pressure in adults with primary open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, helping to prevent optic nerve damage and preserve vision.
How does latanoprost work?+
Latanoprost binds to FP receptors in the eye’s ciliary muscle, triggering remodeling of the extracellular matrix. This increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intra‑ocular pressure, which is the primary therapeutic goal in glaucoma management.
What is the usual dose of Latanoprost Stada?+
The dosing regimen for Latanoprost Stada is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, a single drop is instilled into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, but the exact dose and timing should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Latanoprost Stada safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for latanoprost in pregnancy and lactation are limited, and the product is classified as having an unknown pregnancy category. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk, and a healthcare professional should be consulted.
How do I order Latanoprost Stada from GNH USA?+
To order Latanoprost Stada, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com with the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Latanoprost compare with other glaucoma eye drops?+
Latanoprost belongs to the prostaglandin analog class, which generally offers once‑daily dosing and strong IOP‑lowering efficacy. Compared with beta‑blocker or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor drops, prostaglandin analogs often achieve greater pressure reduction with a favorable dosing schedule, though individual response may vary.
How should Latanoprost Stada be stored and handled?+
Latanoprost Stada should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from light and moisture, and do not freeze the solution. Discard any product that appears discolored or contaminated.
How is Latanoprost Stada administered?+
The medication is applied as a single drop into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Patients should wash their hands before use, avoid touching the tip of the bottle to any surface, and wait a few minutes before applying other eye drops.
What are the most serious risks associated with Latanoprost Stada?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as angio‑edema, uveitis, corneal edema, and persistent eye pain that could lead to vision loss. Any sudden change in vision, severe eye discomfort, or signs of infection should prompt immediate medical attention.
Who should not use Latanoprost Stada?+
Latanoprost Stada should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to latanoprost or any component of the formulation, active ocular infections, or inflammation such as uveitis. Caution is also advised for individuals using other prostaglandin analog eye drops.
