### Product Description
**Bimat Eye Drop (0.03%)**
**Active Ingredient:** Bimatoprost 0.03% w/v
### Composition
– **Active Ingredient:** Bimatoprost 0.03%
– **Inactive Ingredients:** Sodium chloride, sodium phosphate dibasic, citric acid, purified water
– **Preservative:** Benzalkonium chloride
### Indications
Bimat Eye Drops are prescribed for:
– **Open-Angle Glaucoma:** To reduce elevated intraocular pressure.
– **Ocular Hypertension:** To manage elevated intraocular pressure in patients without glaucoma.
### Mechanism of Action
Bimatoprost works by mimicking natural prostamides in the eye. It increases the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid in the eye) through the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways, which helps to lower intraocular pressure.
### Dosage and Administration
– **Recommended Dose:** One drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
– **Usage Instructions:**
– Wash hands before use.
– Tilt head back and pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
– Hold the dropper above the eye and apply one drop.
– Close the eye for 1-2 minutes and press the inner corner of the eye lightly.
– Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to avoid contamination.
– If using contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.
### Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
– Redness of the eye (conjunctival hyperemia)
– Itching (ocular pruritus)
– Sensation of burning or discomfort
– Darkening of the iris, eyelid skin, and eyelashes
– Increased growth of eyelashes
Less common, but serious side effects include:
– Eye pain
– Changes in vision
– Increased intraocular pressure
### Precautions
– **Pigmentation Changes:** Bimatoprost can cause a gradual change in the color of the iris, which may be permanent.
– **Eyelash Changes:** It may cause changes in eyelash length, thickness, and number, which are typically reversible after discontinuation.
– **Hygiene:** Avoid contaminating the dropper tip by not touching it to any surfaces.
– **Medical Conditions:** Inform your healthcare provider about any existing eye conditions or surgeries.
### Storage
– Store at room temperature (15-25°C).
– Protect from light and moisture.
– Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.
### Conclusion
Bimat Eye Drops are effective for managing elevated intraocular pressure in conditions such as glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It is crucial to use the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to monitor for any side effects.
