      • What are the possible side effects of using latanoprost on the scalp? No study has measured the side effects of latanoprost on the scalp. The reactions listed here are extrapolated from the eye-drop label — irritation, burning, itching and skin darkening — plus the systemic reactions the label records at ophthalmic doses; absorption over a whole scalp has never been measured.
      • How long does it usually take to see results from latanoprost for hair growth? There is no established timeline: the only human scalp trial, a 16-man pilot, measured a hair-density increase at 24 weeks using latanoprost 0.1% — twenty times the strength of the glaucoma eye drop — and faster figures quoted elsewhere come from eyelash and animal observations. Scalp use is off-label and experimental.
