Indication
Reduction of IOP in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Optimal for evening use but morning dosing is acceptable.

Mechanism of Action
Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analog, works by increasing uveoscleral aqueous outflow, potentially by loosening intercellular spaces in the ciliary muscle. This leads to a significant reduction in intraocular pressure.
