Description

Nesudil Plus is a fixed-dose combination of a Rho kinase inhibitor and a Prostaglandin F2α analogue. Netarsudil is a Rho kinase inhibitor, that works at the cellular level within the trabecular outflow pathway to relax actin-myosin. This causes relaxation within the trabecular meshwork and the inner wall of Schlemm's canal, and decreases episcleral venous pressure (EVP).

Latanoprost is a selective FP receptor agonist which reduces the intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor through uveoscleral outflow.
