Docosanoid prostaglandin analogue that increases uveoscleral and trabecular outflow. Less potent than latanoprost but may cause less inflammation in uveitis-prone eyes.
Milder IOP reduction than other prostaglandin analogues. May be better tolerated in eyes with prior uveitis. BID dosing (vs QD for other PGAs). Limited veterinary data.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for cat may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Unoprostone Ophthalmic pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in cat — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
