1 Dosing Considerations Contact lenses should be removed prior to the administration of JAMP Latanoprost, and may be reinserted 15 minutes after administration (see PATIENT MEDICATION INFORMATION). JAMP Latanoprost may be used concomitantly with other topical ophthalmic products to further lower intraocular pressure.
If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is being used, the drugs should be administered at least 5 minutes apart. 2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment The recommended dose for adults, including the elderly (over 60 years of age), is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily.
The dose of JAMP Latanoprost should not exceed once daily as it has been shown that more frequent administration decreases the IOP lowering effect. Reduction of IOP in humans starts about 3 to 4 hours after treatment and maximum effect is reached after 8 to 12 hours.
Pressure reduction is maintained for at least 24 hours. 3 Pediatrics). 4 Administration Optimal effect is obtained if JAMP Latanoprost (latanoprost) is administered in the evening. 5 Missed Dose If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose the following day.
). Skin Eyelid skin darkening, which may be reversible, has been reported in association with the use of latanoprost ophthalmic solution (see 7 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS). JAMP Latanoprost may gradually change eyelashes and vellus hair in the treated eye; these changes include increased length, thickness, pigmentation, the number of lashes or hairs, and misdirected growth of eyelashes.
Eyelash changes are usually reversible upon discontinuation of treatment. 1 Pregnant Women Reproduction studies have been performed in rats and rabbits. In rabbits an incidence of 4 of 16 dams had no viable fetuses at a dose that was approximately 80 times the maximum human dose, and the highest nonembryocidal dose in rabbits was approximately 15 times the maximum human dose (see 16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY).
JAMP Latanoprost should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. 2 Breast-feeding The active substance in JAMP Latanoprost and its metabolites may pass into breast milk and JAMP Latanoprost should therefore be used with caution in nursing women (see 16 NON- CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY).
3 Pediatrics Pediatrics (< 18 years of age): The safety and efficacy of the use of latanoprost ophthalmic solution in children has not been established; therefore, Health Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. 2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions).
2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions). 2 Clinical Trial Adverse Reactions Clinical trials are conducted under very specific conditions. The adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials; therefore, may not reflect the rates observed in practice and should not be compared to the rates in the clinical trials of another drug.
Adverse reaction information from clinical trials may be useful in identifying and approximating rates of adverse drug reactions in real-world use. The ocular adverse events and ocular signs and symptoms reported in 5 to 15% of the patients on latanoprost in the three 6 month, multi-centre, double-masked, active- controlled trials were blurred vision, burning and stinging, conjunctival hyperemia, fore ign body sensation, itching, increased iris pigmentation and punctate epithelial keratopathy.

In addition to the above listed ocular events/signs and symptoms, the following were reported in 1 to 4% of the patients: dry eye, excessive tearing, eye pain, lid crusting, lid edema, lid erythema, lid discomfort/pain and photophobia.
The most common systemic adverse events seen with latanoprost ophthalmic solution were upper respiratory tract infection/cold/flu which occurred at a rate of approximately 4%. Pain in muscle/joint/back, chest pain/angina pectoris and rash/allergic skin reaction each occurred at a rate of 1 to 2%.

In a long-term observational cohort safety study evaluating hyperpigmentation changes in the eye, 100 paediatric glaucoma patients were followed for up to 10 years: 67 were treated with latanoprost, and 33 were not exposed to prostaglandin analogs (control group).
The proportion of patients with hyperpigmentation was larger in the latanoprost group compared to the control group: iris colour darkening (13% vs 6%), localised iris pigmentation (6% vs 3%), and increase of nevi/freckles of iris, conjunctiva or choroid (12% vs 3%).
5% to 12%) compared to the control group (0%). 3 Pediatrics).
