Apply gentle pressure to the tear duct (nasolacrimal occlusion) for 1-2 minutes after instillation to minimize systemic absorption. Store unopened bottles in a refrigerator (2-8°C); in-use bottles can be kept at room temperature for up to 6 weeks.

Common: Eye irritation, stinging, conjunctival hyperemia, increased brown pigmentation of the iris (permanent), hypertrichosis/eyelash darkening and lengthening, blurred vision. Rare/Severe: Bradycardia, bronchospasm, heart block, macular edema in aphakic patients, and uveitis.
🛡️ Safety Warnings
Permanent iris color change (increased brown pigmentation) may occur; inform patients before initiation. Timolol component is systemically absorbed; contraindicated in bronchial asthma, severe COPD, sinus bradycardia, second- or third-degree AV block, and overt heart failure.
Jan Aushadhi Products containing Latanoprost
Found 2 generic formulation(s) containing this active ingredient.
Latanoprost 50mcg + Timolol Maleate 5mg Opthalmic solution
Latanoprost and Timolol Maleate ophthalmic solution is a fixed-combination ocular hypotensive therapy. Latanoprost (0.005%), a prostaglandin F2-alpha analogue, increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humor, while timolol (0.5%), a non-selective beta-adrenergic blocker, reduces aqueous humor production in the ciliary processes. Combining these two complementary mechanisms achieves substantial, sustained intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction. Indicated for the reduction of elevated IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are insufficiently responsive to topical monotherapy.
Latanoprost Eye Drops 0.005% w/v (50mcg per ml)
Latanoprost (0.005% w/v) is a synthetic prostaglandin F2-alpha isopropyl ester prodrug on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Following corneal penetration, it is hydrolyzed by corneal esterases to active latanoprost acid, a selective prostanoid FP receptor agonist that remodels the extracellular matrix of the ciliary muscle, dramatically enhancing uveoscleral aqueous humor outflow without altering aqueous production. Indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
