Mode of Action

Latanoprost is an analogue of prostaglandin F2alpha; it reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing outflow of aqueous humour. Timolol is a non-selective adrenergic blocker. It lowers IOP by decreasing the formation of aqueous by the ciliary epithelium.

Interaction

Additive effect on the intraocular pressure and other systemic effects may occur when used with oral beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, guanethidine, antiarrhythmics, digitalis glycosides or parasympathomimetics. Concurrent use of >2 ophthalmic prostaglandin analogues may lead to paradoxical increase in intraocular pressure. Mydriasis may occur when used concurrently with epinephrine. beta-blocker may increase hypoglycaemic effect of antidiabetic agents.
