Latanoprost Used For Glaucoma.

How it works

The active substance latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2a analogue, is a selective prostanoid FP receptor agonist which reduces the IOP by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour. Reduction of the IOP in man starts about three to four hours after administration and maximum effect is reached after eight to twelve hours. Pressure reduction is maintained for at least 24 hours.
