Drug Mode of Action ::
Latanoprost is an analogue of prostaglandin F2?; it reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing outflow of aqueous humour. Timolol is a non-selective adrenergic blocker. It lowers IOP by decreasing the formation of aqueous by the ciliary epithelium.
Drug Interactions ::
Additive effect on the intraocular pressure and other systemic effects may occur when used with oral beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, guanethidine, antiarrhythmics, digitalis glycosides or parasympathomimetics. Concurrent use of >2 ophthalmic prostaglandin analogues may lead to paradoxical increase in intraocular pressure. Mydriasis may occur when used concurrently with epinephrine. beta-blocker may increase hypoglycaemic effect of antidiabetic agents.
