About Lumigan
Lumigan is a clear eye-drop solution that contains the active substance bimatoprost. It is available in two strengths, 0.1 and 0.3 mg per millilitre.
What it is used for
Lumigan is used to reduce the pressure inside the eye. It is used in adults with long-term open-angle glaucoma (a disease where the pressure in the eye rises because fluid cannot drain out of the eye) and in adults with ocular hypertension (when the pressure in the eye is higher than normal). Lumigan can be used alone or with beta-blocker eye drops (other medicines used for these conditions). The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.
How it is used
The recommended dose of Lumigan is one drop in the affected eye(s) once a day in the evening. If more than one type of eye drop is being used, each one should be given at least five minutes apart.
How it works
When the pressure inside the eye is raised, it causes damage to the retina (the light-sensitive membrane at the back of the eye) and to the optic nerve that sends signals from the eye to the brain. This can result in serious loss of vision and even blindness. The active substance in Lumigan, bimatoprost, is a prostaglandin analogue (a man-made copy of a natural substance, prostaglandin). In the eye, prostaglandin increases the drainage of the watery fluid (aqueous humour) out of the eyeball. Lumigan acts in the same way and increases the flow of fluid out of the eye. This helps to reduce the pressure inside the eye and the risk of damage.
