Description
About Latan Eye Drops 2.5ml
Latan Eye Drops 2.5ml contain Latanoprost 0.005% — a prostaglandin F2α analogue that reduces elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Latanoprost enhances uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humour from the eye, providing a sustained, clinically significant reduction in IOP that protects the optic nerve from pressure-related damage and preserves long-term vision.
Latan is a prescription-only (Rx) ophthalmic solution that must be used under ophthalmologist supervision. Key points: apply once daily in the EVENING for maximum IOP reduction. Important side effects to discuss with your doctor include irreversible increased iris pigmentation (brown colour change), eyelash growth changes, and periorbital skin darkening. Regular ophthalmologist monitoring of IOP and optic nerve is essential throughout therapy.

- Can be used in combination with other glaucoma medications under specialist guidance
How to Use
- Apply one drop into the affected eye once daily in the evening.
- Wash hands before use; tilt head back and pull lower eyelid down gently.
- Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye or any surface to avoid contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why must Latan Eye Drops be used in the evening?
A: Latanoprost achieves its maximum IOP-lowering effect with evening dosing. Using it in the morning is less effective. Your ophthalmologist will confirm the timing best suited to your IOP monitoring schedule.
Q: Will Latan Eye Drops change my eye colour?
A: Yes — latanoprost can cause irreversible increased iris pigmentation, particularly in eyes with mixed colour (green-brown, blue-brown). This colour change is permanent. Discuss this with your ophthalmologist before starting therapy.
Q: Can I use Latan Eye Drops with other glaucoma medications?
A: Yes, Latanoprost is commonly combined with other agents such as timolol. If using two different eye drops, space applications at least 5 minutes apart. Always follow your ophthalmologist's guidance.
