Monopost
Monopost is a preservative-free single-dose eye drop containing latanoprost, a prostaglandin analogue. It reduces intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, helping to manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension without the irritation associated with preservatives like benzalkonium chloride.
Dosage by Body Weight
The recommended therapy is one eye drop in the affected eye(s) once daily. Optimal effect is obtained when Monopost is administered in the evening. Dosing should not exceed once daily.
