Latina RT Eye Drop

Latina RT Eye Drop is a prescription eye drop that contains latanoprost as the active ingredient, as labelled in each drop of solution. It belongs to the prostaglandin analogue class and is used to lower eye pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. By helping reduce pressure inside the eye, Latina RT Eye Drop helps lower the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss over time. This product is supplied as an eye drop from Zydus Cadila, India, in a strip/box of 10 eye drops.

How it works: Latanoprost works by increasing the drainage of fluid from the eye, which helps bring down internal eye pressure. As an eye drop, Latina RT Eye Drop delivers the medicine directly to the eye surface so it can act where pressure builds up.

Latina RT Eye Drop is not a lower-strength starter option; it is the standard latanoprost eye-drop formulation used when a doctor has decided this treatment is appropriate for the patient’s eye pressure control. Because it is an eye drop rather than a tablet or injection, it acts locally in the eye and is usually chosen for once-daily use when consistent pressure lowering is needed. Your doctor may select Latina RT Eye Drop based on your eye pressure, treatment history, and how well your eyes tolerate therapy.

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Lowering elevated eye pressure
• Protecting the optic nerve from pressure damage

• Use Latina RT Eye Drop exactly as your doctor prescribed, usually once daily in the evening.
• Wash your hands before using the eye drop and avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any surface.
• Pull down the lower eyelid, place one drop in the affected eye, then close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drop and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• If you need more than one eye medicine, wait at least 5 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose; use the next dose at the regular time.

Latina RT Eye Drop provides latanoprost as labelled in each eye drop, and the usual regimen is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily, often in the evening. Do not use it more than once per day unless your doctor specifically instructs you to do so, because more frequent use can reduce its pressure-lowering effect. The exact dose and treatment plan should always be decided by your doctor based on your eye condition and response.

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

Common side effects of Latanoprost may include:

• Eye redness
• Mild eye irritation or burning after instillation
• Blurred vision for a short time after use
• Itchy eyes
• Dry eyes
• Changes in eyelash length, thickness, or direction

• Latina RT Eye Drop can change the color of the iris, eyelids, or eyelashes over time, and these changes may be permanent.
• Use caution if you have a history of eye inflammation such as uveitis or iritis, or if you have had eye surgery.
• Do not use this eye drop more often than prescribed, because once-daily dosing is important for proper effect.
• Contact lenses may absorb the preservative in the solution, so remove lenses before use.
• Temporary blurred vision may occur after dosing, so avoid driving or using machinery until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if you have asthma, significant eye irritation, or a history of herpes eye infection.
• Use only as directed in one or both eyes; do not share your eye drop with anyone else.

• Other prostaglandin eye drops, which may reduce effect or increase eye irritation if used together
• Multiple glaucoma eye drops, which may need spacing by at least 5 minutes
• Contact lens use, which can interact with the preservative and should be timed carefully
• Any eye medicine containing thimerosal or similar preservatives, if advised by your clinician
