Common Use

The active ingredient in Bimat eye drops is Bimatoprost. Your eye contains a watery liquid that nourishes the interior of the eye. This fluid is continuously drained and replaced. If the drainage process is too slow, it can lead to increased intraocular pressure. Bimatoprost works by reducing fluid levels and increasing the amount of fluid drained from the eye, thereby lowering intraocular pressure.

Dosage and Direction

Apply Bimat eye drops once daily to the eye that requires treatment for glaucoma or high intraocular pressure. The preferred application time is in the evening. If using Bimat eye drops with another eye medication, wait at least 15 minutes between applications.

To apply Bimat eye drops correctly:

• Remove contact lenses before application.
• Squeeze a few drops into the affected eye.
• Gently close and reopen the eye to spread the liquid evenly.

Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Bimat eye drops. Inform them about all medications you are taking. If using other eye medications, maintain a 15-minute gap between applications.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.
• Contact lenses may interfere with drug absorption; remove them before use.
• Seek medical advice if you have recently experienced an eye injury.
• Avoid operating heavy machinery after use, as the drops may cause temporary blurred vision.

Contraindications

Do not use Bimat eye drops if you are allergic to Bimatoprost. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include difficulty breathing, swallowing, swelling, chest tightness, or skin rashes.

• Follow your doctor's or pharmacist's instructions carefully.
