Pharmacological action

Anti-glaucoma combination drug.

Latanoprost is an analogue of prostaglandin F2 and a selective FP receptor agonist. It reduces intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor and has an anti-glaucoma effect. The main mechanism of action of latanoprost is associated with an increase in uveoscleral outflow. It does not significantly affect the production of aqueous humor and does not affect the blood-brain barrier.

Timolol is a non-selective -adrenoreceptor blocker with little internal sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilizing activity. When applied topically, it reduces intraocular pressure by reducing the formation of aqueous humor and a slight increase in its outflow.

Pharmacokinetics

Latanoprost

Absorption and distribution of

Cmax in aqueous humor (approximately 15-30 ng / ml) is achieved 2 hours after instillation in the eye. After applying eye drops, latanoprost is distributed primarily in the anterior segment of the eye, in the conjunctiva and in the eyelids. Only a small amount of the drug reaches the posterior segment. Latanoprost undergoes hydrolysis in the cornea under the influence of esterases with the formation of a biologically active acid.

Metabolism and excretion

Metabolism of latanoprost acid in the tissues of the eye practically does not occur. The main metabolism occurs in the liver. T1 / 2 from plasma is 17 min. The main metabolites, 1,2-dinor and 1,2,3,4-tetranor metabolites, do not have or have weak biological activity and are mainly excreted in the urine.

timolol

When applied topically, timolol penetrates quickly through the cornea. After instillation of eye drops, Cmax timolol in aqueous humor of the eye is reached after 1 hour.

T1 / 2 from plasma - 6 hours. It enters a systemic circulation by absorbing through the vessels of the conjunctiva, nasal mucosa and lacrimal tract. Excretion of timolol metabolites is carried out mainly by the kidneys.

Indications

open-angle glaucoma

increased intraocular pressure.

Contraindications

bronchial asthma or a history of bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Precautions

Inflammatory, neovascular, angle-closure or congenital glaucoma, open-angle glaucoma combined with pseudophakia, pigmented glaucoma (due to lack of sufficient experience with the drug) aphakia, pseudo-aphakia with rupture of the posterior lens capsule, patients with risk factors for macular edema (cases of macular edema, including cystoid edema, have been described in the treatment of latanoprost).

Use during pregnancy and lactation

Adequate and strictly controlled clinical studies on the safety of the drug during pregnancy and lactation (breastfeeding) have not been conducted.

The use of the drug during pregnancy is possible only if the intended benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus or child.

The drug should not be prescribed to lactating women, or breast-feeding should be abandoned (timolol, latanoprost and its metabolites can pass into breast milk).
