Prolatan, eye drops 0.005% 2.5ml

Latanoprost, an analogue of prostaglandin F2 alpha, is a selective FP receptor agonist and reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing aqueous outflow, mainly by uveoscleral route, as well as through the trabecular meshwork. IOP lowering starts approximately 3 – 4 hours after the drug injection, the maximum effect is observed after 8 – 12 hours and the action lasts for at least 24 hours.

It is established that latanoprost has no significant effect on aqueous humor production and on hemato-ophthalmic barrier.

When used in therapeutic doses latanoprost has no significant pharmacological effect on cardiovascular and respiratory systems.
