Latanoprostenol is a drug used to treat glaucoma and high intraocular pressure. It is a prostaglandin drug that lowers intraocular pressure, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the optic nerve. Latanoprostenol is usually used once a day, preferably at night as it takes some time to work.
Patients should follow their doctor's recommendations and prescription instructions when using latanoprostenol. During use, some side effects may occur, such as eye redness, stinging, vision changes, etc. If serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately.
In Hong Kong, latanoprostenol is a commonly used drug to treat glaucoma, but patients should undergo regular examinations by an ophthalmologist to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the drug. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your doctor immediately.
How to use: LATANOPROST is an eye drop, usually used once daily at night before going to bed. Before use, clean hands and face thoroughly, remove contact lenses, drop into the inner corner of the eyes, and then press gently on the eyes to ensure even distribution of the medicine. Avoid closing your eyes immediately after use to avoid loss of medication. It is not recommended to use other eye drops at the same time and should be separated by at least 10 minutes.
Dosage Guidelines: The recommended dose of LATANOPROST for adults is one drop per night in the affected eye. For use in children, dosage may need to be adjusted as directed by your physician. If there are dosage adjustments or other special circumstances, patients should follow the physician's recommendations. If you have any discomfort or questions during use, you should consult your doctor immediately. The dose of LATANOPROST should be used on time, and the dose should not be increased or decreased or interrupted at will to ensure the therapeutic effect.
