Bimatoprost 0.01% w/v ophthalmic solution
To lower raised intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue (prostamide) that increases the outflow of aqueous humour mainly via the uveoscleral pathway (and to some extent trabecular outflow). This reduces intraocular pressure and helps prevent optic nerve damage.
For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, or as directed by an ophthalmologist. Do not use more than once daily. If using other eye drops, keep at least 5 minutes gap. Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after 15 minutes.
Common side effects of LUMIGAN 0.01% may include:
May cause permanent increased brown pigmentation of the iris and darkening of eyelid skin; may increase eyelash growth. Use with caution in patients with a history of uveitis/iritis, macular edema (especially aphakic/pseudophakic with torn posterior lens capsule), or active intraocular inflammation. Do not touch dropper tip to any surface to avoid contamination. If eye infection, injury, or surgery occurs, consult doctor. Not for injection or oral use.
