Prostaglandin Analogues

Prostaglandin analogues are used to treat glaucoma and gastric ulcer, as well as for labor induction and to increase eyelash growth. They work by reducing pressure in the eye by decreasing excess fluid in the eyes, protecting the stomach from ulcers, and causing contractions in the cervix.

Key takeaways

Prostaglandin analogues are used to treat glaucoma, induce labor, and prevent stomach ulcers. They also have other uses, such as managing bleeding after giving birth and promoting eyelash growth. Prostaglandins work by mimicking the natural chemicals in your body that help regulate various functions, such as reducing eye pressure or protecting the stomach lining. These medications come in different forms, including eye drops and oral tablets. Examples include latanoprost (Xalatan, Xelpros), bimatoprost (Lumigan, Latisse, Durysta), dinoprostone (Cervidil), and misoprostol (Cytotec). You can discuss with your healthcare team which option might be right for you.
