9 PM 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.
Latanoprost in 9 Pm Eye Drops works by increasing the amount of fluid that drains from the eye, thus lowering the pressure inside the eye.
These metabolites accounted for approximately 66% of the radioactivity in urine. In conclusion, latanoprost is rapidly hydrolyzed in the eye and blood to latanoprost acid. Minimal further metabolism occurs in the eye, but latanoprost acid undergoes beta oxidation and other metabolism outside the eye.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
