PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
Description
Latanoprost is an antiglaucoma agent and an analog of the prostaglandin PGF2α. As a blockbuster drug developed by Pharmacia, it is one of the critical targets in synthesising prostaglandins. People with glaucoma or ocular hypertension have high intraocular pressure (IOP) or high pressure inside the eye. Having high IOP increases the risk of vision loss and damage to the optic nerve in the eyes. Latanoprost works by helping the fluid in the eye drain out, which helps decrease IOP.
