Latanoprost-related transient incontinence.

Raja V, Sandanshiv P, Asghar M, Moriarty B

Local adverse events like hypertrichosis and increased iris pigmentation are common whereas systemic adverse events have been rare and mild in intensity. The authors would like to report a case of transient urge incontinence after initiation of latanoprost therapy confirmed by challenge-rechallenge tests and speculate on the causal relationship.
