Bimat Ls Eye Drops 3ml

Bimat LS Eye Drops are used for the following:

• Managing open-angle glaucoma

• Reducing ocular hypertension

To correctly administer Bimat LS Eye Drops, please follow these steps:

• Wash your hands thoroughly.

• Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a pouch.

• Hold the dropper directly over the eye and squeeze out one drop, taking care not to touch the tip of the dropper with your eye or any other surface.

• Close your eyes for 2-3 minutes without blinking or squinting. If possible, gently press at the corner of the eye (near your nose) for about 1 minute. This will keep the liquid from draining out.

• Repeat the process in your other eye if directed by your doctor.

• Remember to replace the cap after each use.

• For further information or clarity, do consult with your doctor.

Bimat LS Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Bimat LS Eye Drops contain two active ingredients:

• Bimatoprost (0.01%): This synthetic prostamide analogue imitates the action of natural prostaglandins in your body. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor, fluid in your eyes, via two mechanisms. First, it relaxes the ciliary muscle and increases the space between ciliary muscle bundles, facilitating the drainage of aqueous humor through the uveoscleral route. Second, it enhances the flow of aqueous humor through the trabecular meshwork, the primary drainage pathway in the eye. By doing so, bimatoprost effectively reduces IOP.

• Benzalkonium Chloride (0.005%): This ingredient acts as a preservative in the eye drops, preventing microbial contamination. However, it's important to note that long-term use of products containing benzalkonium chloride may be associated with ocular surface toxicity.

• Store Bimat LS Eye Drops at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to avoid contamination.

• Shield the product from direct light to ensure its efficacy.

• Ensure it is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the packaging before use.

• Maintain good eye hygiene: Regularly clean your eyelids with a warm compress to remove debris and keep your eyes healthy, which can help manage glaucoma and ocular hypertension effectively.

• Adopt a balanced diet: Consuming foods rich in antioxidants, such as spinach, kale, and other leafy green vegetables, can contribute to good eye health. However, always consult your doctor before making any significant dietary changes.
