Latanoprostene bunod, sold under the brand name Vyzulta, is an ophthalmic medication used for the reduction of intraocular pressure in people with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.[2][3] It targets the trabecular meshwork directly.[3] It is a prostaglandin analog.[2]
The most common side effects include conjunctival (eye) redness, eye irritation, and eye discomfort (pain).[4] Latanoprostene bunod may cause the iris (colored part of the eye) to become darker in color.[4]
Latanoprostene bunod was approved for medical use in the United States in November 2017.[2][4][5]
