VYZULTA

Product Overview

About VYZULTA

VYZULTA is a prescription medication used to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It contains the active ingredient latanoprostene bunod, a prostaglandin analog that helps to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased IOP that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss.
• Treatment of ocular hypertension, a condition where the IOP is higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as glaucoma.
• Reduction of IOP to prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision.

Active Ingredient & Action

Latanoprostene bunod works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye, thereby reducing IOP. It also has a mild vasodilatory effect, which helps to increase blood flow to the eye and promote the removal of excess fluid.

Important Notes

VYZULTA is available in a single-dose, preservative-free formulation. It is administered as a single drop in the affected eye once daily in the evening. Patients should be advised to use the medication exactly as prescribed and to report any changes in vision or eye symptoms to their healthcare provider. As with any medication, VYZULTA may cause side effects such as eye redness, itching, or burning. Patients should consult their healthcare provider if they experience any of these symptoms or if they have any questions or concerns about the medication.
