About this active substance
Latanoprost + netarsudil is a fixed-combination eye drop used in adults to lower raised pressure inside the eye. It may be prescribed for primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension when a prostaglandin medicine or netarsudil alone has not lowered the pressure enough. The aim is to protect the optic nerve and reduce the risk of gradual, permanent vision loss.
The two ingredients work in different and complementary ways. Latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue, increases drainage of fluid from the eye. Netarsudil, a Rho-kinase inhibitor, improves fluid outflow through structures that regulate eye pressure. Together they can lower intraocular pressure more than either ingredient used alone.
The usual dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes once daily in the evening, as directed by an eye specialist. Wash your hands before use and do not let the bottle tip touch the eye, eyelids or any surface. If you use other eye medicines, leave at least 5 minutes between drops. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
Common side effects include red eye, stinging or pain where the drop is applied, itching, eye discomfort, watery eyes, small bleeding spots on the eye surface and deposits in the cornea, usually detected during an eye examination. Dry eye and gradual changes in eyelashes or iris colour may also occur. Seek medical advice promptly for severe pain, sudden vision changes, marked inflammation, allergy signs or before eye surgery.
