Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
Latonoprost is metabolised to its active free acid form in vivo, which is a selective agonist of the FP receptor. This agonism results in a reduction in interocular pressure by means of increased outflow of aqueous fluid from the eyes.
