Monopost Information

Monopost (Latanoprost) is a preservative-free eye drop containing latanoprost, a medication primarily used to reduce intraocular pressure. This high pressure is often linked to conditions like open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It is also used in treating chronic angle-closure glaucoma in patients who have had surgical treatment. The active ingredient is latanoprost, a potent prostaglandin analog. It works by increasing the outflow of the aqueous humor (the fluid that fills the front of the eye). Instead of using the primary drainage pathway, which might be blocked or inefficient, the drug appears to remodel the extracellular matrix between ciliary muscle fibers in the eyes. This process likely reduces resistance and allows the fluid to exit the eye more freely through these alternative tissues.

Open-angle glaucoma is a chronic condition where the eye's drainage angle remains open, yet the fluid doesn't leave the eye at the rate it should. This creates a slow buildup of pressure that, over time, is likely to compress and damage the optic nerve fibers. Ocular hypertension is a similar state of high pressure, though it hasn't yet caused detectable nerve damage or vision gaps. Latanoprost helps lower intraocular pressure to a safer level. Because the optic nerve is notoriously sensitive to mechanical stress, even a slight reduction in pressure can be the difference between maintaining sight and progressive blindness. This medication effectively offsets fluid buildup, providing a consistent way to manage the eye's internal environment and protect the nerve from further strain.

Standard latanoprost drops often contain benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that can cause irritation or damage eye’s surface with long-term use. Monopost is supplied in single-dose containers, eliminating the need for these preservatives. This makes it a common choice for patients with sensitive eyes, those suffering from dry eye syndrome, or individuals who react poorly to traditional preservatives.
