⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Latanoprost is an analogue of prostaglandin F2α. It acts as a selective prostanoid FP receptor agonist and is believed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor. Studies in both animals and humans suggest that this effect works mainly by increasing uveoscleral outflow. Elevated IOP is a major risk factor for glaucomatous field loss: the higher the IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Latanoprost is listed as Pregnancy Category C. There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women, so we don't have solid evidence on its safety in pregnancy. Because of this, it should be used during pregnancy only when the possible benefit to the mother outweighs the possible risk to the baby.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
