CompositionLatobest Eye Drops 2.5ml are used to reduce raised pressure inside the eye in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Lowering the pressure helps protect the optic nerve and prevent the loss of vision that high eye pressure can cause over time.
They contain latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue that lowers eye pressure by improving the drainage of fluid from the eye. The drops are usually put into the affected eye once a day in the evening, as directed by your doctor, and are used regularly to keep the pressure controlled.
Pressing gently on the inner corner of the eye after putting in the drops, and attending regular eye check-ups so the pressure and your vision can be monitored, help support treatment.
Before using this medicine, tell your doctor about any eye conditions or previous eye surgery, or other medicines you use. This medicine can gradually darken the eyelid skin and the coloured part of the eye, and change eyelash growth. Tell your doctor about eye pain, marked redness, or changes in vision.
