Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prostaglandin analogs, used in the treatment of glaucoma, primarily act locally on the eye to reduce intraocular pressure. While they are effective in their action, systemic side effects are indeed rare due to the localized nature of their application. However, when systemic side effects do occur, they can include symptoms like upper respiratory infections among others, but these are not common.
