Bimapix 0.01% Eye Drops

Drop

Reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension

Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin (prostamide) analogue that increases the outflow of aqueous humour from the eye, mainly via the uveoscleral pathway. This lowers intraocular pressure and helps protect the optic nerve.

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening, or as directed by an ophthalmologist. Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after at least 15 minutes; avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface.

Not for injection or oral use. May cause permanent increased brown pigmentation of the iris and darkening of eyelid skin; may increase eyelash length/thickness. Use with caution in patients with history of uveitis/iritis, macular edema (especially aphakic/pseudophakic with torn posterior capsule), or active intraocular inflammation. If using other eye drops, keep at least 5–10 minutes gap. Stop and seek medical help if severe eye pain, sudden vision changes, or signs of allergy occur.
