What is the common dosage form of Latanoprost ?

  • A.Oral tablets
  • B.Eye drops
  • C.Injectable solution
  • D.Topical cream

Answer: B

Latanoprost is commonly given as eye drops.

It is a prostaglandin F2-alpha analogue used once daily as 0.005 percent eye drops in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It lowers intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humour through the uveoscleral route. Local side effects include darkening of the iris and longer eyelashes.

It is not given as an oral tablet, an injection or a skin cream.
