Description
Introduction
Avetaprost (Lataprost) 0.005% Eye Drop belongs to a class of medications known as prostaglandin analogues and contains latanoprost as its active ingredient. It is generally well-tolerated but may lead to common side effects like eye irritation, blurred vision, darkening of the iris, and changes in eyelash growth or thickness. If you’re using this for the first time, you might notice a slight stinging sensation—that’s normal and usually goes away quickly. Always make sure your hands are clean before using it, and remember not to touch the dropper tip to avoid contamination.

Tilt your head back slightly, pull down your lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops directly into the eye as instructed by your doctor.
Dosage
The recommended dosage is typically one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, or as advised by your healthcare provider. Do not use more than prescribed.
