Latanoprost was the first prostaglandin to be approved as first-line treatment for elevated eye pressure. Three newer prostaglandins are travoprost (Travatan), bimatoprost (Lumigan),and tafluprost (Zioptan). These drugs are used to reduce eye pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma and high ocular pressure. Side effects include itching, redness, and burning during administration. Muscle and joint pain may also occur.
