Vyzulta® solución oftálmica para el glaucoma de ángulo abierto y la hipertensión ocular

Vyzulta is a prescription eye drop that helps lower high intraocular pressure. It treats open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension in adults. This page explains how it works, usage basics, storage, and safety so you can plan access through CanadianInsulin.

What Vyzulta Is and How It Works

Vyzulta® (latanoprostene bunod ophthalmic solution) is a topical prostaglandin analog for reducing elevated intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It increases aqueous humor outflow through the uveoscleral pathway and relaxes the trabecular meshwork via nitric oxide release. Orders have US delivery from Canada to support patients paying without insurance.

After instillation, the medicine hydrolyzes to latanoprost acid, which enhances uveoscleral outflow. It also donates nitric oxide that helps relax the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm’s canal. This dual-pathway action can lead to sustained pressure reduction when used as directed.

Who It’s For

This treatment is indicated to lower intraocular pressure in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. It may be used alone or with other topical ocular pressure-lowering agents when a prescriber deems combination therapy appropriate.

People with a history of hypersensitivity to any component should avoid it. Use caution if you have active intraocular inflammation, a history of macular edema, aphakia, or pseudophakia with a torn posterior lens capsule. The drops may gradually change iris color, eyelid skin pigmentation, and eyelashes. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established; speak with a clinician about options for children. For general eye wellness topics, see Salud ocular infantil.

Posología y utilización

Use one drop in the affected eye or eyes once daily in the evening, or as directed on the prescription label. Do not administer more than once daily; more frequent use may reduce the pressure-lowering effect.

Wash hands before use. Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket, and instill one drop without touching the bottle tip to any surface. Gently close the eye; avoid squeezing. If you use multiple topical eye medicines, separate each by at least five minutes to minimize washout. Remove contact lenses before dosing and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

If your clinician prescribes an additional agent such as a beta blocker or carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, follow the spacing guidance above and the label instructions for each product.

Fortalezas y formas

This medicine is supplied as an ophthalmic solution at 0.024% in a multi-dose bottle, commonly 2.5 mL. Availability can vary by pharmacy and packaging. Your prescription will specify the quantity and any refills.

Dosis omitida y momento oportuno

If you miss a dose, use the next dose at your usual time. Do not double up or use more than once daily to make up for a missed dose. Maintaining a consistent evening schedule can help support steady intraocular pressure control.

Almacenamiento y viaje

Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Store according to the package insert. Protect from excessive heat, moisture, and light. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Discard if the solution becomes discolored or cloudy, or if the bottle or tip is damaged.

When traveling, carry the bottle and a copy of your prescription in your hand luggage. Avoid leaving the bottle in a hot car or near a window. Keep the dropper tip clean and avoid contact with fingers or the eye. For background reading on vision health, see Enfermedad ocular diabética.

Beneficios

This therapy is dosed once daily, which may simplify routines compared with multi-dose regimens. The dual mechanism targets both uveoscleral and trabecular outflow. Consistent use can help lower and maintain intraocular pressure when combined with regular follow-up and adherence to the prescription.

Efectos secundarios y seguridad

• Enrojecimiento o irritación de los ojos
• Dolor o molestias oculares
• Dryness or foreign body sensation
• Visión borrosa después de la dosis
• Crecimiento o engrosamiento de las pestañas
• Gradual darkening of the iris or eyelid skin

Serious but less common risks include uveitis, macular edema, or corneal effects, particularly in susceptible patients. Report sudden vision changes, severe eye pain, marked inflammation, or signs of infection. This class can increase pigmentation changes over time; these may be permanent. If you use contact lenses, note that preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride can be absorbed by soft lenses; remove lenses before dosing and wait before reinsertion as directed.

Interacciones medicamentosas y precauciones

Using multiple prostaglandin analogs concurrently may reduce the pressure-lowering action; concurrent use is generally not recommended unless directed by your prescriber. If you use other ocular hypotensives such as beta blockers, alpha agonists, or carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, separate instillations by at least five minutes. Tell your clinician about prior herpetic keratitis, ocular inflammation, or eye surgeries. Avoid contaminating the dropper tip to prevent bacterial keratitis.

Qué esperar con el tiempo

With regular nightly dosing, pressure reductions may be maintained over continued use as assessed by your eye care professional. Some cosmetic effects such as gradual eyelash changes or iris darkening can appear over long-term therapy. Keep scheduled intraocular pressure checks, bring your bottle to visits when asked, and discuss any new symptoms promptly. For healthy routines year-round, consider tips in Mes de la Visión Saludable.

Comparar con alternativas

Prescribers may consider beta blockers or other prostaglandin analogs when tailoring therapy. For a non-selective beta blocker option, see Solución oftálmica de maleato de timolol. Another prostaglandin analog often used for glaucoma is Lumigan® Rc. Your clinician will choose based on pressure targets, tolerability, ocular history, and concomitant conditions.

Adecuación al paciente y consejos para ahorrar costes

Candidates include adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who benefit from once-daily topical therapy. Not everyone is an ideal candidate, particularly those with active intraocular inflammation or risk factors for macular edema. Share your full ocular and medical history, including surgeries and contact lens use.

To manage expenses, ask your prescriber about multi-month quantities when appropriate, which can reduce the number of shipments. Coordinate refills before you run out, and set reminders to support adherence. If your regimen includes additional drops, align refills to reduce separate deliveries. Bring questions about affordability to your clinic so they can consider therapeutic equivalents if needed.
