The invention relates to the use of derivatives of F-type prostaglandins as ocular hypotensives. The PGF derivatives used in accordance with the invention are represented by the following formula I: wherein wavy line attachments indicate either the alpha (alpha) or beta (beta) configuration; dashed bonds represent a double bond, or a single bond, R is a substituted heteroaryl radical, R1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical having up to six carbon atoms, X is selected from the group consisting of -OR1, -N(R1)2, R1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical having up to six carbon atoms, X is selected from the group consisting of -OR1, -N(R1)2 and -N(R5)SO2R6, wherein R5 represents hydrogen or CH2OR6 and R6 represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl radical having up to six carbon atoms and halogen substituted derivatives of said lower alkyl radical, e.g. a fluoro substituted lower alkyl radical; Y is =O or represents 2 hydrogen radicals. Certain of the compounds represented by Formula I comprise another aspect of the present invention.
