Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Avoid use due to potential effects on uterine tone. Breastfeeding: Consult a physician.
Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, is used to manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is supplied as eye drops, solution, in a 2.5 ml bottle, and the active ingredient has its own page. Pfizer is the originator company; the medicine also appears under the name Monopost.
The drops increase the outflow of aqueous humour from the eye, lowering intraocular pressure. Onset is about 3–4 hours; the effect lasts around 24 hours. The iris may slowly turn brown and lashes may grow longer, thicker and darker, and these changes can be permanent (MedlinePlus). Remove contact lenses before application. Latanoprost is contraindicated in pregnancy, as prostaglandins stimulate uterine smooth muscle and animal studies showed a raised risk of abortion or preterm delivery, and in anyone with a documented hypersensitivity to the drug or another component of the formulation.
