About latanoprost prescription refills

No. Latanoprost is a prescription medication and cannot be purchased over the counter. Conditions like glaucoma and ocular hypertension require ongoing care because they can lead to permanent vision loss.

During a video visit, a provider on Sesame can review your medical history and current treatment to determine whether a latanoprost refill is appropriate. You may also need an in-person eye exam to monitor your eye pressure.

Latanoprost is recommended for evening use because studies show it reduces eye pressure more effectively when applied in the evening than in the morning. Apply one drop to the affected eye once daily in the evening, as prescribed.
Latanoprost can gradually increase brown pigment in your iris (the colored part of your eye) over months or years. Not everyone experiences this side effect, but if your eye color changes, the change is likely to be permanent, even after you stop using the drops. If you treat only one eye, this can lead to a different color in each eye.
If you use latanoprost with other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between applications. This helps prevent one medication from washing away the other.

Latanoprost is prescribed as a 0.005% ophthalmic solution (eye drops). The standard dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.

Do not use latanoprost more than once daily. Using the drops more frequently can make the medication less effective. If you miss a dose, skip it and continue with your next scheduled dose.

Store unopened latanoprost bottles in the refrigerator between 36°F and 46°F (2°C and 8°C). Once opened, bottles can be stored at room temperature up to 77°F (25°C) for up to 6 weeks. Protect bottles from light, and discard any remaining medication 6 weeks after opening.

Using latanoprost more than once daily can reduce its effectiveness in lowering eye pressure. Applying too many drops may also cause eye irritation, redness, or watering.

If you accidentally apply too much latanoprost, wait until your next scheduled dose before using it again. Contact your provider if irritation persists or worsens.
