UnoprostoneA prostaglandin analogue used to lower intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who are clinically unresponsive to other ocular antihypertensive agents.
TafluprostAn ophthalmic prostaglandin analog used to lower intraocular pressure in patients with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma.
LimaprostAn oral prostaglandin E1 analogue used to improve symptoms associated with thromboangiitis obliterans, acquired lumbar spinal canal stenosis, and other ischemic conditions.
