What time should Monoprost be used?
I was recommended to use the drops in the evening. I often have a night job and go to bed after 7 o'clock. Is it better to take the medicine in the evening and work all night or in the morning before bed? I will add that it works in a large amount of artificial light. Thank you for your help

According to the Summary of Product Characteristics, Monoprost is recommended to be administered once a day, and the optimal effect is obtained by administering the drug in the evening. Latanoprost (the active ingredient in Monoprost) lowers intraocular pressure. Taking the drops in the evening helps to reduce the feeling of side effects such as irritation and discomfort in the eye. At night, the flow of aqueous humor in the eye is slower, and administering the drug at night allows for better regulation of eye pressure. Due to the optimization of Monoprost's action and reduction of the risk of side effects, it is recommended to use the drops in the evening.
Monoprost drops should be taken regularly at a fixed time of day to maintain stable drug levels and improve intraocular pressure control. If you have informed your doctor about shift work and the specialist has recommended the use of drops in the evening, please follow this recommendation. A fixed time and regularity is important in using the drops.
If your circadian rhythm is shifted and you only work at night and go to bed at 7 am, you may want to consider switching to bedtime drops.
Monoprost is a prescription drug, and the dosage method is decided by the doctor.
