Latanoprostene Bunod

Prescription

Indications

Hypertension Glaucoma

Latanoprostene Bunod 0.024% ophthalmic solution is used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients who have open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Latanoprostene bunod is thought to lower intraocular pressure by helping aqueous humor drain out of the eye more freely, through both the trabecular meshwork and the uveoscleral routes. Intraocular pressure is a major risk factor for glaucoma getting worse, and it is one that can be changed. Bringing the pressure down lowers the risk of glaucomatous visual field loss.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There are no human data on the use of Latanoprostene Bunod during pregnancy, so any risk linked to the medicine can't be judged. Nothing is known either about whether Latanoprostene Bunod passes into human milk, what it might do to a breastfed infant, or whether it affects milk production. A mother should weigh the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding against her own clinical need for the medicine, and also against any possible adverse effects it could have on the breastfed infant.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: The usual dose of Latanoprostene Bunod is one drop in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye or eyes, once daily in the evening. Don't use Latanoprostene Bunod ophthalmic solution, 0.024% more than once a day. Prostaglandin analogs given more often than that have been shown to lessen the intraocular pressure lowering effect. If you are using Latanoprostene Bunod along with other topical eye medicines to lower intraocular pressure, put each one in at least five (5) minutes apart.
