LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML

How LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML Works

• LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML belongs to a class of medications known as prostaglandin analogs. It is specifically designed to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is a condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve, which can lead to progressive vision loss. Ocular hypertension refers to a condition where the pressure inside the eye is higher than normal, increasing the risk of developing glaucoma. This medication works by mimicking the action of naturally occurring prostaglandins in the body.
• The primary mechanism of LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML involves enhancing the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye. Aqueous humor is a clear fluid that fills the space between the lens and the cornea. It is constantly produced and drained to maintain a stable pressure within the eye. In cases of glaucoma or ocular hypertension, the drainage of aqueous humor is impaired, leading to a buildup of fluid and increased IOP. LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML increases the outflow of this fluid, thereby reducing the pressure inside the eye.
• By facilitating the outflow of aqueous humor, LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML helps to lower the elevated IOP, which is a major risk factor for optic nerve damage and vision loss in glaucoma patients. Regular use of this medication as prescribed by an ophthalmologist can effectively manage IOP and slow down the progression of glaucoma, preserving vision for a longer period.

Most side effects are temporary and disappear as your body adapts to the medication. Consult your doctor if they persist or cause concern.

• Eyelash changes
• Eye pain
• Increased sensitivity to light
• Burning sensation in eye
• Eye itching

• Keep LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5ML in a refrigerator (2 - 8°C). Do not freeze.

• LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML is designed to help lower elevated pressure within the eye, effectively minimizing the potential for vision loss.
• For optimal results, administer one drop of LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML into the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening or at night. Consistency is key to maintaining its therapeutic effects.
• Immediately following the application of the eye drop, gently apply pressure to the inner corner of your eye (the area closest to your nose) for approximately one minute. This action helps to prevent the medication from draining away too quickly and maximizes its absorption.
• If you are using other eye medications, allow a minimum of 5 to 10 minutes between the administration of LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML and any other eye drops. This waiting period prevents dilution of the medications and ensures each can work effectively.
• Be aware that LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML may cause a gradual brown pigmentation of the iris (the colored part of the eye). It's important to note that this change in color may be permanent, so discuss any concerns with your doctor.
• You might observe that your eyelashes become thicker or that the skin of your eyelids darkens slightly while using LATOPROST RT DROPS 2.5 ML. These changes are generally temporary and should reverse once you stop using the medication. If these side effects concern you, consult with your healthcare provider.
