Introduction
Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01%) is a prescription eye drop classified as a prostaglandin analog. It is primarily used to reduce elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in individuals with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension—two common eye conditions that, if untreated, can lead to optic nerve damage and vision loss.
Bimatoprost mimics the effects of naturally occurring prostamides in the eye to increase the outflow of aqueous humor via the uveoscleral pathway, effectively reducing IOP.
Why Prescribed
Indications for use:
Primary open-angle glaucoma: A chronic condition where the eye's drainage canals become clogged over time, causing elevated IOP (intraocular pressure).
Ocular hypertension: A condition involving high IOP without optic nerve damage, which still poses a risk for developing glaucoma.
Reducing IOP is the only proven way to slow or prevent progressive optic nerve damage and vision loss due to glaucoma.
Off-label use may include adjunctive therapy in certain secondary glaucomas, as determined by a healthcare provider.
To comply with Canadian International Pharmacy Association regulations you are permitted to order a 3-month supply or the closest package size available based on your personal prescription. read more
How to Use
Dosage: Use one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
Administration:
Wash hands thoroughly before application.
Tilt your head back and gently pull the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
Hold the dropper above the eye and instill one drop without touching the eye or eyelid.
Gently close the eye and apply light pressure to the inner corner (punctal occlusion) for 1–2 minutes to minimize drainage and enhance the delivery of medication.
If using other ophthalmic medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between different products.
Remove contact lenses before administration. Lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes after use to prevent irritation or discoloration caused by the preservative (benzalkonium chloride).
Do not exceed once-daily dosing, as more frequent administration may reduce IOP-lowering effectiveness.
Special Precautions
Who should not use Lumigan:
Individuals with hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or any component of the formulation.
Those with a history of macular edema, uveitis, or aphakia should use with caution.
Tell your doctor if you have:
History of eye inflammation (e.g., uveitis)
Cystoid macular edema
Ocular trauma or surgery
No natural lens (aphakia) or pseudophakia with torn posterior capsule
Special Dietary
No known interactions exist between food and drink.
Alcohol does not have a documented interaction, but should be consumed cautiously if you have concurrent health conditions.
Missed Dose
Use the missed dose as soon as remembered, unless it’s almost time for the next scheduled dose.
Do not double the dose to catch up. Resume the regular dosing schedule.
