Ioprost Eye Drop

Ioprost Eye Drop is a latanoprost ophthalmic solution used to lower high pressure inside the eye. Each eye drop contains latanoprost as labeled by the manufacturer, FDC India, and it belongs to the prostaglandin analog class. It is commonly prescribed for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension to help reduce the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss.

How it works: Latanoprost works by helping fluid drain out of the eye more easily, which lowers pressure inside the eye. As an eye drop, Ioprost Eye Drop delivers the medicine right where it is needed for steady pressure control.

Ioprost Eye Drop is an eye-drop formulation designed for direct use in the eye, so it is suited for patients who need local treatment rather than oral medicine. Because there are no other strengths or forms of Ioprost listed, this product fits the standard once-daily latanoprost dosing used when a doctor decides an eye-drop prostaglandin is appropriate. Its effect is gradual rather than immediate, so it is chosen for long-term pressure control, not for sudden eye-pressure emergencies.

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Lowering elevated eye pressure
• Long-term pressure control to help protect vision

• Use Ioprost Eye Drop only in the eye as directed by your doctor.
• Usually apply it in the evening unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Wash your hands before use and do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any surface.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• After placing one drop in the eye, gently close the eye and press the inner corner for 1 minute to reduce drainage.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between products.

This product provides latanoprost as labeled in each eye drop, and the usual adult regimen for latanoprost eye drops is 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. It should not be used more than once per day unless a doctor specifically instructs otherwise, because extra doses can reduce the pressure-lowering effect. Your eye doctor decides the exact schedule based on your eye pressure, other medicines, and response to treatment.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Latanoprost may include:

• Eye redness
• Stinging or burning right after the drop
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Itchy or irritated eyes
• Darkening of the iris or eyelid skin with ongoing use
• Longer or thicker eyelashes with continued use

• Use caution if you have a history of eye inflammation such as uveitis or iritis.
• Tell your doctor if you have had cataract surgery or are planning eye surgery.
• This medicine can gradually change eye color, especially with long-term use.
• Do not use Ioprost Eye Drop more than once daily unless your prescriber says so.
• If you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before use.
• Do not drive right after instilling the drop if your vision is blurred.
• Contact lens wearers should remove lenses before dosing and wait before reinserting them.

• Other glaucoma eye drops, especially prostaglandin analogs, may interact or be duplicated.
• Eye drops containing preservatives or other ophthalmic medicines may require spacing between doses.
• Tell your doctor about all prescription and nonprescription eye medicines you use.
• Systemic medicines are less likely to interact, but your prescriber should still review your full medication list.
