Lumigan

Uses of Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution (India)

Prevent glaucoma from emerging by using Lumigan 0.01% Ophthalmic Solution (India) 3ml. This ophthalmic solution works by reducing the intraocular pressure in the eyes. It is also known by its generic name Bimatoprost Ophthalmic.

Lumigan removes excess fluid or water from the eyes. When the excess fluid has been removed, the pressure inside the eyes drops. The same solution is also used to prevent other damages that the eyes cannot manage to combat.

Precautions and Warnings

Just like other drops, Lumigan is prohibited for usage if an individual has known hypersensitivity to its ingredients. Other than that, avoid using it if you have an eye infection, which can only get worse, making it hard to treat glaucoma and other eye damage.

Dosage

The best time to apply one drop in the affected eye is before going to bed. Note that the drops begin to function most effectively after 4 hours of application, which explains why using it before sleeping is the recommended time. The proper way of applying it is similar to applying different eye drops. For more information on how to properly perform it, a leaflet or label is provided with the solution.
