What should be done with Latanoprost after 6 weeks of opening?

When Latanoprost is opened, it is important to adhere to specific storage and usage guidelines to ensure its effectiveness and safety. After six weeks of opening, Latanoprost should no longer be used, as its potency and stability cannot be guaranteed beyond this time frame. This is particularly relevant for medications that are susceptible to degradation or contamination once opened.

Discarding the medication after six weeks helps prevent any potential adverse effects that may arise from using a product that may have lost its effectiveness. In addition, medications like Latanoprost, which are often used for conditions such as glaucoma, require consistent potency to properly manage intraocular pressure and maintain ocular health.

The other options, such as refrigerating the medication or transferring it to a different container, do not align with established guidelines regarding its storage and usage after opening. Continuing to use Latanoprost for another month would similarly pose risks, as proper management of the patient’s condition relies on the medication's integrity and efficacy.
