Bimat 0.03% (Bimatoprost)

Bimat eye drops are a medication used to reduce intraocular pressure to prevent dangerous consequences such as glaucoma and total blindness due to optic nerve damage. Regular treatment with Bimat drops helps control intraocular pressure and preserve vision.

Start using the drops as soon as possible as a stand-alone agent or in combination with other medications on the recommendation of a doctor if you have high intraocular pressure.

Drug Information

• Active substance : Bimatoprost;
• Manufacturer : Ajanta Pharma.

Bimat and its active substance, Bimatoprost

The active ingredient of the drops is Bimatoprost, which belongs to synthetic prostamides. It easily penetrates the cornea and sclera and reduces pressure due to increased outflow of aqueous humor.

After the first use, the drug begins to work within 4 hours, while the maximum reduction in intraocular pressure is observed within 8-12 hours. The drug lasts for about 24 hours.

The drops are indicated for ophthalmic use only. The treatment is usually long and aims to stabilize intraocular pressure. With regular use of Bimat, the effect can occur 10-15 minutes after administration.

Directions for use

Bimat is used when the disease is associated with high intraocular pressure. Eye drops are generally prescribed for the following conditions:

• Chronic angle-closure glaucoma;
• Ocular hypertension.

The drug can also be used to treat hypotrichosis (insufficient eyelash growth). The drug should be used strictly as prescribed by a doctor if you have a proper diagnosis. Do not self-medicate as this can lead to unwanted consequences.

Treatment regimens and dosages

Bimat eye drops are available in 3 ml. It is essential to follow a doctor's recommendations regarding dosage and frequency of use. A doctor will choose the best treatment duration for you, taking into account regular medical monitoring data. It is generally recommended to place 1 drop in the affected eye once a day unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

The duration of treatment may vary from several months to several years with interruptions in use, depending on the severity of the condition and individual response to the medication.

Recommendations for use

Follow the recommendations listed below to get the maximum effect from Bimat:

• Instill the drops at the same time;
• Wash your hands thoroughly before using the drops;
• Lean back, with your head tilted back;
• Close your eyes for 1-2 minutes;
• Be careful not to touch your body parts or surrounding objects with the dropper tip to avoid contamination;
• Avoid getting drops into a healthy eye.

If you are using multiple ophthalmic medications, instill them at 5-minute intervals. It is not recommended to independently increase the dosage or frequency of use.

However, there is no data on the possible interaction of Bimat with alcohol, so it is advisable to limit its consumption during treatment.

Do not use the drops before driving or doing work that requires excessive tension of the eye muscles as the drops may cause unpleasant sensations in the eyes.

The safety of the drops has not been studied for children under 18 years of age. Whether the medication is indicated is up to a doctor to decide. In such a case, treatment should be under the strict supervision of a doctor.

Avoid drinking coffee, which contributes to increased intraocular pressure, to improve the treatment outcome.

Missed dose

If you forget to instill Bimat drops, do so as soon as you remember. If you use the medication several times a day and need to instill the next dose soon, follow the treatment regimen. Do not use a double dose to avoid the risk of side effects.

Precautions

Inform your doctor about any chronic illnesses you have before starting treatment. The drops should be used with caution in the following cases:

• Increased individual sensitivity to the active substance and sulfanilamide preparations;
• Kidney disease;
• Lesions of the choroid of the eye (uveitis);
• Accumulation of fluid in the macula (macular edema).

Using Bimat eye drops may cause: increased eyelash growth, changes in iris color, and darkening of the eyelids. These changes may persist over the long term or even become permanent, resulting in a noticeable difference between the healthy eye and the affected eye (if you instill the drops in only one eye).

Tell your doctor about any eye infections you have had before using Bimat. Also discuss the possibility of using the medication for inflammatory eye diseases.

There is little data on the use of drops in people with respiratory problems such as bronchial asthma and COPD. In a few cases, exacerbation has been noted, which may be associated with the personal characteristics of each patient. Inform your doctor if you suffer from any of these diseases.

Use of Bimat during pregnancy

Bimat can be used during pregnancy if you have no contraindications and your doctor has prescribed the medication. Inform your doctor about your pregnancy before using the drops to avoid possible adverse reactions. If pregnancy occurs during treatment, be sure to inform your doctor.

There is no data on the risks associated with using the drug during breastfeeding. Consult your doctor regarding the use of drops in your case.
