What is the brand name of latanoprost 0.005%?

• A. Xalatan
• B. Xelpros
• C. Lyuzeh
• D. Travatan Z

Answer: (A)

Latanoprost 0.005% is a prostaglandin analog used to lower intraocular pressure by increasing uveoscleral outflow. The brand most closely associated with this exact formulation is Xalatan, the original latanoprost product introduced for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It’s the name many clinicians first think of for latanoprost at 0.005%.

There are other latanoprost brands as well, such as Xelpros, which is also latanoprost 0.005% but in a preservative-free formulation. The existence of this option doesn’t change that Xalatan is the classic brand name tied to latanoprost 0.005%. Travatan Z, on the other hand, is a brand for travoprost, a different prostaglandin analog. Lyuzeh isn’t a standard latanoprost brand recognized for this concentration in most markets, so it wouldn’t be the brand associated with latanoprost 0.005%.
