Introduction

Careprost Ophthalmic Solution (Bimatoprost), a generic of Lumigan and Latisse, helps improve the length, fullness, and darkness of eyelashes. It is one of the most popular eyelash growth products available. Bimatoprost is also used to alleviate intraocular pressure in individuals suffering from glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Use

Careprost Ophthalmic Solution (Bimatoprost) is an agent that helps improve the length, fullness, and darkness of eyelashes. The active ingredient, Bimatoprost, is also often prescribed to alleviate intraocular pressure in individuals suffering from glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Elevated intraocular pressure may likely lead to glaucomatous field loss and the higher the level of pressure, the greater the probability of optic nerve damage as well as visual field loss. Bimatoprost helps lower intraocular pressure by regulating the amount of fluid that flows through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathway. As aqueous production and drainage stabilize, pressure in the eye is reduced thus minimizing the risks associated with high intraocular pressure.

Dosage and administration

For more measured and detailed dosage information as well as administration guidelines, please consult your physician or pharmacist and adhere to his/her orders.

Using Careprost Ophthalmic Solution (Bimatoprost) for EYELASH GROWTH:

Generally, prior to applying Careprost Ophthalmic Solution (Bimatoprost), do ensure that the face is clean and contact lenses are removed.

Remove any excess solution outside the application area with a tissue. DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelash line. Careprost Ophthalmic Solution (Bimatoprost) should be applied regularly for 12 to 16 weeks to ensure optimal eyelash growth and preliminary results manifest within 8 weeks. In case of a missed dose, DO NOT apply a double dose to make up for the missed dose; just apply Careprost Ophthalmic Solution (Bimatoprost) as usual the next evening.
