latanoprost (xalantan)

-use: prostaglandin analogs ( first-line, once-daily eye drops to treat open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension by reducing intraocular pressure)

-action: lowers IOP by facilitat9ing aqueous humor outflow

-SE: can cause harmless brown pigmentation of iris

isotretinoin (Accutane)

-use: can produce complete and prolongs remission of acne

-SE: dryness, inflammation, teratogenic (malformations of embryo), triglycerides lvls monitored
