Product Description

Product Name

  • Lumigan 0.1 Mg/Ml, Ophthalmic Solution, For Glaucoma - 3 Ml

 

Scientific Name

  • Bimatoprost

 

Category of Lumigan Ophthalmic Solution

  • Glaucoma Eye Drops

 

Mechanism of action of Bimatoprost

  • Bimatoprost mildly stimulates the rate of aqueous humor flow during the day (13%) and at night (14%). 
  • Its ocular hypotensive action is due primarily to a 26% reduction in the tonographic resistance to outflow. 
  • Thus, bimatoprost enhances the pressure-sensitive outflow pathway.

 

Therapeutic Indications of Lumigan Ophthalmic Solution

  • LUMIGAN® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.01% is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

 

 

Method of Administration of Lumigan Ophthalmic Solution

  • The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Lumigan® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.01% should not be administered more than once daily since it has been shown that more frequent administration of prostaglandin analogs may decrease the intraocular pressure lowering effect.
  • Doses may be changed in special conditions so always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions.
  • If you take more than you should, talk to a doctor or go to the hospital straight away.
  • If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember it unless it is nearly time for your next dose.
