To lower raised intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension
How LUMIGAN 0.01% Works
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.
Dosage & Directions
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.
Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
