Warnings

There are limited study data on the use of Latanoprost during the peri-operative period of cataract surgery. It is advised to be used with caution in these patients.
Latanoprost may gradually change eyelashes and vellus hair in the treated eye and surrounding areas; these changes include increased length, thickness, pigmentation, number of lashes or hairs and misdirected growth of eyelashes. Eyelash changes are reversible upon discontinuation of treatment.
It is advised to be used with caution in patients with a history of herpetic keratitis, and is advised to be avoided in cases of active herpes simplex keratitis and in patients with a history of recurrent herpetic keratitis specifically associated with prostaglandin analogues.
