Is it allowed to take Latanoprost during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Prostaglandin used as treatment of glaucoma. Like most ophthalmologic compounds for topical use a low dose and poor absorption make it compatible with breastfeeding.

Initially I had SLT laser and it only worked for a few months. Now on Latanoprost. My current IOP is L:11 and R: 13. No side effects and I rarely miss eye when applying. I have open angle glaucoma.

I have only used the eye drops a few times. I noticed the vision in my left has has gotten worse. I was able to read without my glasses (average print) after using the drops, my vision decreased dramatically.

This drug works in lowering eye pressure but it has extreme side effects. After using it for 5 months, I experience severe dizziness, vomiting, blurry vision, flu-like symptoms and fast heart beats. I stopped it and all symptoms went away. Not sure if this drug is worth using considering its extreme side effects. At this point, I will rather do an eye surgery instead of going back to this drug. Be careful when using this drug.
