Recommended Dosage for Adults (including the elderly): Recommended therapy is one eye drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Optimal effect is obtained if Latanoprost is administered in the evening. If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as normal.
Administration: Latanoprost is effective as a single drug therapy. It is effective in combination with beta-adrenergic agonists (dipivalyl epinephrine), oral carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (acetazolamide) and at least partly additive with cholinergic agonist (pilocarpine).
Latanoprost may be used concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic drug product to lower intraocular pressure. In case of combined therapy the eye drops should be administered with an interval of at least five minutes. The dosage of Latanoprost should not exceed once daily since it has been shown that more frequent administration decreases the intraocular pressure lowering effect.
Children: Safety and effectiveness in children has not been established. Therefore, Latanoprost is not recommended for use in children.
