Latep Eye Drop 2.5ml

Uses of Latep Eye Drop 2.5ml

Latep Eye Drop 2.5ml drops are used to lower raised pressure inside the eye in adults and children with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It is often one of the first drops prescribed because it is effective and generally well tolerated. Keeping eye pressure down protects the optic nerve and helps prevent permanent loss of vision.

How Latep Eye Drop 2.5ml works

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analogue. It increases the drainage of fluid out of the eye through a secondary drainage route, called the uveoscleral pathway. With fluid leaving more easily, the pressure inside the eye falls.

Possible side effects

Latep Eye Drop 2.5ml can cause some cosmetic and comfort-related effects. The common ones include:

• Eye redness
• Gradual darkening of the iris colour
• Longer, thicker or darker eyelashes
• Gritty or irritated eyes
• Darkening of the eyelid skin

See your eye doctor promptly for eye pain, swelling, sensitivity to light or any change in vision.

Precautions and warnings

• Use it every day at the same time; glaucoma usually has no symptoms but damages sight if untreated.
• Press on the inner corner of the eye for a minute after use to reduce absorption into the body.
• Keep regular eye pressure checks.
• Changes in iris colour can be permanent and more noticeable if only one eye is treated.
• Store unopened bottles in a refrigerator, and remove contact lenses before use.

Storage

Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle tightly closed and do not use it after the expiry date or the period stated on the label once opened. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
