Mechanism of action

Latanoprost is a selective agonist of the prostaglandin F (FP) receptor located on the ciliary muscle bundle and trabecular meshwork of the eye. By activating these receptors, it enhances drainage of aqueous humor through the unconventional uveoscleral pathway, leading to decreased intraocular pressure. This mechanism makes it effective for treating glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
