General Info:

Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution)0.03% is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Bimatoprost reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous fluid from the eyes.

The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. The dosage of Bimatoprost should not exceed once daily since it has been shown that more frequent administration may decrease the intraocular pressure lowering effect.

LATISSE 0.03% is indicated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth including length, thickness and darkness.

Ensure the face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed. Once nightly, place one drop of LATISSE 0.03% on the disposable sterile applicator supplied with the package and apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes. The upper lid margin in the area of lash growth should feel lightly moist without runoff. Blot any excess solution runoff outside the upper eyelid margin with a tissue or other absorbent cloth. Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator.

Bimatoprost is sold as brand names Lumigan and LATISSE.
