Summary
Latanoprost, a prostaglandin F2 (PGF2) analog used for glaucoma treatment, is known to cause iris darkening, hypertrichosis, and periocular skin hyperpigmentation. PGF2 has been shown to stimulate the growth of melanocyte dendrites, increasing dendricity even at low doses, as well as enhancing tyrosinase activity and quantity, thereby promoting repigmentation. Studies on the use of 0.005% latanoprost gel in both children and adults with vitiligo have demonstrated effective repigmentation without reported side effects.
