Vyzulta is a glaucoma treatment medication for open-angle glaucoma that may also be prescribed to treat ocular hypertension. Latanoprostene Bunod is a prostaglandin-analog drug that is formulated to reduce intraocular pressure in the eye and take away the primary contributor for either of these degenerative eye conditions. It promotes more fluid draining out of the eye and Vyzulta is administered as a drop that goes right into the eye. You can buy Vyzulta eye drops with a prescription here at Canpharm.
