Latanoprostene Bunods a novel prostaglandin analog combined with a nitric oxide (NO) donor,
designed to address elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
Approved by the FDA in 2017 under the brand name VYZULTA, it is developed and marketed by Bausch + Lomb, a global leader in ophthalmic care.
This innovative molecule uniquely integrates two mechanisms of action, offering enhanced efficacy compared to traditional glaucoma therapies.

Administered as a once-daily topical ophthalmic solution, Latanoprostene Bunod simplifies treatment regimens, improving patient adherence compared to multi-dose therapies.
Common side effects are mild and transient, including conjunctival hyperemia and eye irritation. Unlike beta-blockers, it avoids systemic effects such as bradycardia or respiratory complications.
Latanoprostene bunod is indicated for:
Open-Angle Glaucoma (OAG): Reduces IOP in patients with progressive optic nerve damage115.
Ocular Hypertension (OHT): Manages elevated IOP in patients at risk of developing glaucoma1016.
Adjunctive Therapy: May be combined with other IOP-lowering agents in refractory cases, though fixed-dose combinations are still under exploration
