Introduction

L Prost 0.005% Eye Drop is suitable for adults and children and can be used by itself or in combination with other eye medicines to reduce pressure. Follow the instructions given by your doctor and use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit. If you stop using it, pressure in the eye could increase and damage your sight. Never use a bottle if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. If you wear contact lenses, make sure you remove them before instilling and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back. The most common side effects include eyelashes changes, eye pain and sensitivity to light. It may also cause blurred vision, dryness in the eye, a gradual change in color of the eye, and other rare effects.

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

L Prost 0.005% Eye Drop is a prostaglandin analogue. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

L Prost 0.005% Eye Drop may cause brown pigmentation of the iris. This discoloration may be permanent. Your eyelashes may become more dense and eyelid skin may darken. These changes should disappear after discontinuing L Prost 0.005% Eye Drop.
