Common Use

People suffering from hypotrichosis may experience short eyelashes or gaps where hair does not grow on the eyelids. The active substance in Lumigan eye drops, Bimatoprost, is a precursor to prostaglandin, a naturally occurring chemical in the body. Prostaglandin is believed to play a role in hair growth by extending the active growth phase. Therefore, Lumigan eye drops, containing Bimatoprost, promote hair growth, hair thickening, and contribute to maintaining healthy eyesight.

Dosage and Direction

To use Lumigan eye drops for hair growth, avoid direct application into the eye. Use the applicators provided in the 30-piece box, which lasts one month. Apply gently to the upper eyelashes; the lower lashes do not require application as blinking will distribute the liquid. After application, blink gently to ensure even spread. If the drops enter the eyes, rinsing is unnecessary as no harm will occur. Ensure your face is clean before use, and remove contact lenses if worn.

Precautions

Before using Lumigan eye drops, inform your doctor about any allergies, as the drops may contain allergens. Provide a full medical history, including recent eye infections, current treatments for the same condition, and other medications taken daily.

Contraindications

Lumigan eye drops should not be used if you have underlying conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, or heart problems, as their effects on these conditions are not fully studied. The drops may cause temporary blurred vision. After use, rest your eyes for at least 10 minutes and avoid activities like operating heavy machinery to prevent injury.
