Information About Latanoprost

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin F2-alpha analogue used to reduce intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in Singapore. Available as a 0.005% ophthalmic solution applied once daily in the evening, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Evening administration is essential as diurnal aqueous humour dynamics make evening dosing significantly more effective than morning dosing for maximum intraocular pressure reduction — applying in the morning reduces its pressure-lowering efficacy by approximately 40%. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Latanoprost online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
