Lumigan (Bimatoprost) Medication Information

Uses

Lumigan is an eye medication used to treat conditions where the intraocular pressure is too high. It is indicated to treat ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma.

Increased intraocular pressure is a serious condition with symptoms including blurred vision, severe head and eye pain, nausea, vomiting, the appearance of rainbow circles around bright lights, and sudden loss of sight. Left untreated, high intraocular pressure can lead to permanent vision loss.

Lumigan is a prostaglandin analog, which is a signal molecule used by various cells of the body. Lumigan reduces intraocular pressure by increasing the amount of outgoing fluid. With regular use, Lumigan reduces the risk of optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Dosage

The usual dosage of Lumigan is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Your doctor may prescribe a different dose. Take Lumigan exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
