- Toxicity Summary: Researchers found no carcinogenesis or mutagenesis with latanoprost, and the drug did not affect fertility in animal studies. However, latanoprost was noted to cause a chromosomal aberration in treated human lymphocytes. Intravenous infusion of 3 μg/kg of latanoprost in healthy volunteers produced plasma concentrations 200 times higher than during clinical treatment with latanoprost ophthalmic solution, and researchers identified no ADR. There is no evidence to establish a correlation between latanoprost administration and ocular or cutaneous melanoma.; Intravenous infusion of 5.5 to 10 μg/kg resulted in fatigue, sweating, dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain. According to the manufacturer's labeling, treatment should be symptomatic if there is an overdosage with latanoprost ophthalmic solution. Source: StatPearls
