Latanoprost brands?

What are the main brand names of latanoprost?

Latanoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Common brands depend on the country, but well-known examples include:

- Xalatan (often cited as the original branded product in many markets)
- Others exist in various regions as generic or locally marketed “latanoprost” products

Is Xalatan the only latanoprost brand?

No. Latanoprost has multiple marketed products over time. Some markets list brand-name versions, while others primarily offer generics labeled “latanoprost” (sometimes with different manufacturer names). Brand availability also varies by country and pharmacy supply.

How do latanoprost generics differ from branded versions?

Generics and brands usually use the same active ingredient (latanoprost) but can differ in:
- Manufacturer and packaging
- Inactive ingredients (excipients), which can matter for patients sensitive to preservatives or additives
- The exact strength/concentration and presentation (commonly ophthalmic solutions)
