BRAND NAME: Xalatan. DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Latanoprost, a derivative of the chemical, prostaglandin F2-alpha, is used for the treatment of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition in which the pressure exerted by the liquid within the eyeball (the aqueous humor) is too great.
Different glaucoma eyedrops can cause different side effects.The newest class of drugs, Prostaglandin Analogs (e.g. Xalatan, Lumigan and Travatan), acts differently from other eye drops. IOP is lowered by the drug opening up a new pathway by which fluid flows out of the eye. The drug needs only to be taken once a day.
