Latoprost RT 0.005% Eye Drop

Description

Latoprost RT 0.005% Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution used for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It contains Latanoprost (0.005%), a prostaglandin analogue that helps to lower increased pressure inside the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOP). By reducing IOP, Latoprost RT prevents damage to the optic nerve and reduces the risk of vision loss in patients with glaucoma or high eye pressure. This medication is typically prescribed for long-term management of these conditions.

Key Features:

Active Ingredient: Contains 0.005% Latanoprost, a highly effective compound that lowers intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of fluid from the eye.

Treats Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension: Specifically designed to manage conditions like open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, preventing optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Long-Term Management: Latoprost RT is suitable for long-term use to maintain healthy eye pressure and safeguard vision.

Once-Daily Dosing: Convenient once-daily administration ensures easy and consistent usage.

How to Use:

Dosage: Apply one drop of Latoprost RT 0.005% in the affected eye(s) once daily, preferably in the evening. Overuse can reduce its effectiveness.

Application: To apply, tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket, and gently squeeze a drop into the eye. Close your eyes for a minute and avoid blinking to allow the medication to be absorbed.

Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, skip it and apply the next dose at the usual time. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

Precautions:

Consult Your Doctor: Before using Latoprost RT, consult your doctor if you have eye infections, eye surgery history, or other eye conditions.

Contact Lenses: Remove contact lenses before applying the eye drop, and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

Possible Side Effects: Common side effects include eye irritation, redness, dryness, or blurred vision. In rare cases, changes in eyelash growth or darkening of the iris (eye color) may occur. Seek medical advice if severe reactions like eye pain, swelling, or vision changes occur.

Who Should Use This Product:

Patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension needing to manage elevated intraocular pressure to prevent further optic nerve damage.

Individuals prescribed Latanoprost by their eye care provider for long-term control of eye pressure.
