Patient summary
Utilized to manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension, indicated to reduce intraocular pressure and support long-term ocular health for patients diagnosed with primary conditions.
Mechanism of action
Bimatoprost is a structural prostaglandin analogue that mimics the effects of naturally occurring prostaglandins, increasing the outflow of aqueous humour from the eye and thereby reducing intraocular pressure effectively.
Storage instructions
Store at room temperature not exceeding 25°C, keep the container tightly closed and protected from light.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus. Breastfeeding: Discontinue during treatment.
