LUMIGAN® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is used for the
treatment of high eye pressure, also called intraocular pressure (IOP), in people
with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Important Safety Information
LUMIGAN® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% has been reported
to cause darkening (pigmentation) of eye color, eyelid skin and eyelashes, as well
as increased growth of eyelashes. Pigmentation changes can increase as long as LUMIGAN®
0.03% is used. After stopping LUMIGAN® 0.03%, darkening of eye color
is likely to be permanent while darkening of the eyelid skin and eyelash changes
may be reversible. The effects of increased darkening beyond 5 years are not known.
When only one eye is treated, there is a possibility of eyelash changes in the eye
treated with LUMIGAN®. These changes may result in differences between
the eyes in eyelash length, thickness, darkness, number of eyelashes and/or direction
of eyelash growth. These changes are usually reversible upon stopping LUMIGAN®
therapy.
If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using LUMIGAN®. Then
wait 15 minutes after using LUMIGAN® before you put your contacts
back into your eyes.
The most common side effects are eye redness, growth of eyelashes, and itchy eyes.
