Careprost 0.03% (Bimatoprost)

Careprost is a medication used to reduce intraocular pressure and prevent associated eye diseases that can lead to significantly reduced vision or even total blindness. The medication supports the condition of the optic nerve in the affected eye and maintains its function.

The effect of the drug largely depends on how quickly treatment is started. The more severe the optic nerve atrophy, the more difficult it is to restore vision. Therefore, you should start treatment as soon as you know the correct diagnosis. You can use the drops alone or with other eye medications.

Careprost and its active substance Bimatoprost

The active ingredient in Careprost is Bimatoprost, a synthetic prostamide with a strong hypotensive effect. It easily penetrates the eye through the sclera and cornea and facilitates the outflow of aqueous humor, thereby reducing intraocular pressure.

If you are using Careprost eye drops for the first time, you will notice their effect, such as a decrease in intraocular pressure, within a few hours. However, with regular use, 10 to 15 minutes is enough to reduce pressure. Therefore, an essential condition for effective treatment is its regularity.

Directions for use

Careprost 0.03% drops are used exclusively in ophthalmology. The drug is indicated for high intraocular pressure and associated diseases, such as:

• Open-angle glaucoma;
• Ocular hypertension.

Apart from ophthalmology, Bimatoprost can also be used in cosmetology, as it promotes eyelash growth. For this purpose, Bimatoprost is commonly used in various serums.

Use Careprost drops as prescribed by your doctor once your diagnosis is confirmed. Do not self-medicate to avoid adverse reactions.

Treatment regimens and dosages

A doctor determines the frequency of use of Careprost drops and the duration of treatment based on the severity of your condition. The drops are available in 3 ml dosages and are an individual treatment that only you can use. You must use the medication daily as part of a treatment cycle.

The recommended daily dose is usually 1 drop in the affected eye. Your doctor may prescribe a different dosage and treatment regimen. In this case, follow your doctor's instructions.

Recommendations for use

Eye drops will be effective if you follow these rules:

• Use the medicine at the same time each day;
• Apply the medicine while lying on your back;
• Pour the drops into the crease of the lower eyelid, pulling it slightly with your finger;
• After application, lie down with your eyes closed for 1 to 2 minutes;
• Use the medicine only for the affected eye and avoid getting it in the healthy eye.

To prevent eye infection, do not let the cap come into contact with your skin or other objects. When using Careprost, avoid alcohol and coffee, which increase intraocular pressure.

Do not use the drops before performing work requiring increased eye strain or before driving, as the medication may cause eye discomfort.

If a doctor prescribes more than one eye medication, use them 5 minutes apart or consult your doctor regarding the dosage regimen.

Missed dose

If you miss a dose of Careprost eye drops, take it as soon as possible. If you are using the medication more than once a day and it is almost time for your next dose, skip the previous dose and continue as directed. Do not double the dose to avoid side effects.

Precautions

Although the drops are only for eye diseases, inform your doctor about all your chronic illnesses, as some can increase intraocular pressure. Use Careprost with caution in the following cases:

• Risk of macular edema;
• Increased sensitivity to sulfonamide drugs;
• Lesions of the choroid of the eye;
• History of serious eye infections;
• Inflammatory eye diseases.

There is no information on the use of drops in children under 18 years of age. If treatment is necessary, discuss the possibility of using Careprost with your doctor.

The drug may also have side effects in people with COPD or bronchial asthma. In a limited number of cases, the use of Bimatoprost may lead to the aggravation of the above diseases. However, this is related to individual characteristics and is not a common problem. If you have these disorders, inform your doctor before using the drops.

Use of Careprost during pregnancy

No studies confirm the risks of using the drug for pregnant women. If your pregnancy is normal and without complications, you can use Careprost eye drops as prescribed by your doctor. If you experience any adverse reactions during treatment, consult your doctor immediately.

According to studies, the drug is also safe for use during breastfeeding. Bimatoprost passes into breast milk in small amounts and is unlikely to harm the baby. If you have any doubts about the safety of Careprost in your particular case, consult your doctor.

Possible side effects

Careprost may cause side effects. These are mostly mild and ophthalmic. Side effects diminish over time. The most common side effects include:

• Itching;
• Inflammation of the conjunctiva;
• Dry eyes;
• Increased tear secretion;
• Eye pain and irritation.

It is rare to have a severe allergic reaction to the drug in case of individual intolerance to the active substance.

Very rarely, you may experience side effects related to other organs and systems of the body, such as:

• Nausea;
• Dizziness;
• Headaches;
• Allergic dermatitis.

In addition, the possibility of individual side effects not described above should not be excluded. If your condition worsens or side effects increase while using Careprost, inform your doctor.

Careprost: interaction with other drugs

Careprost interacts primarily with other eye medications, especially those containing prostaglandins. However, eye drops can also interact with oral and other medications, so tell your doctor about all medications you are taking.

Read the package leaflet or contact a pharmacist to learn more about possible drug interactions.

Conservation

Store Careprost in a dark, cool, and dry place out of reach of children and pets. Do not use the medicine if the expiration date has passed or if the packaging is damaged.
