Bimat LS Eye Drop

Bimat LS Eye Drop is an eye drop containing bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analogue used in eye care. Each eye drop delivers bimatoprost as labeled in the bottle, and this medicine is used to lower raised pressure inside the eye. Bimat LS Eye Drop is prescribed for conditions such as open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension, where reducing eye pressure helps protect vision.

How it works: Bimatoprost works by increasing the drainage of fluid from the eye, which helps lower intraocular pressure. Since Bimat LS Eye Drop is placed directly into the eye, it acts where the pressure problem is located.

Because Bimat LS Eye Drop is supplied as an eye drop and the only listed strength for this product, it is used exactly as prescribed rather than being adjusted like tablet doses. Your doctor may choose this form when a once-daily eye medicine is appropriate and when they want pressure-lowering treatment delivered directly to the eye with minimal whole-body exposure.

• Open-angle glaucoma
• Ocular hypertension
• Lowering elevated eye pressure
• Helping reduce the risk of optic nerve damage from high eye pressure

• Use Bimat LS Eye Drop exactly as prescribed by your eye doctor.
• Wash your hands before putting in the eye drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between drops unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Remove contact lenses before use and wait the time your doctor recommends before putting them back in.

Bimat LS Eye Drop provides bimatoprost as labeled in each eye drop, and this strength is generally used once daily in the affected eye(s). Do not use it more than once a day unless your doctor specifically tells you to, because using it more often can reduce its effect and raise the risk of side effects. Your doctor decides the exact dose and schedule based on your eye pressure and treatment goals.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Bimatoprost may include:

• Eye redness
• Eye itching or irritation
• Burning or stinging after instillation
• Dry eyes or watery eyes
• Blurred vision right after use
• Eyelash growth or changes in eyelash thickness
• Darkening of the eyelid skin or iris, which may be more noticeable with ongoing use

• Use only in the eye; do not swallow Bimat LS Eye Drop.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of eye inflammation, uveitis, macular edema, or certain eye surgeries.
• This medicine can gradually change iris color, eyelid skin color, and eyelash appearance.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after instillation, so be careful driving or using machinery until your vision clears.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before use because preservatives in the drop can irritate the eyes.
• Tell your doctor about pregnancy or breastfeeding before using Bimat LS Eye Drop.
• Do not use more frequently than prescribed, since this eye-drop strength is intended for once-daily use.

• Other glaucoma eye drops or pressure-lowering eye medicines
• Other prostaglandin analogue eye drops
• Contact lens solutions or products that may irritate the eye if used too close to dosing time
• Any eye medication containing preservatives that can increase irritation when used together
