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.
I do not know if this might be attributed to elevated pressure in the eyes (for years my pressure was borderline/ and or below) because of taking Durezol eyedrops. I had taken a milder steroid eyedrop called Lotemax (prescribed by Dr. Samson) last year, and had a similar reaction.
