Uses of Bimat 0.03% wv

Open-Angle Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of disorders that affect a person's eyes.

Open-Angle Glaucoma is the most prevalent, painless condition that causes vision loss and irreversible blindness.

Intraocular pressure increases at an alarming rate in Open-Angle Glaucoma, resulting in vision loss.

Bimat, 0.03% wv, aids in treating Open-Angle Glaucoma by lowering intraocular pressure.

Hypotrichosis

Hypotrichosis is a disorder in which hair development slows or hair loss occurs in a specific body area.

Bimat eye drops have been demonstrated to aid in repairing hair in the eye area, primarily eyelashes, when used by patients.

How does the drug work?

The major element in Bimat 0.03% wv is Bimatoprost.

These eye drops are primarily to aid in opening clogged drainage pathways in the eye area.

The intraocular pressure gets reduced when the eye's drainage channels are opened.

It is because the extra fluid in the inner space of the eye is discharged.

The active ingredient Bimatoprost is an FDA-approved salt. It is also available as alternative medicines like Careprost 3 ml. of 0.03% and Lumigan 3 ml (of 0.03%).

• To treat Hypotrichosis, gently apply the drop with an applicator to the root of the upper eyelashes region.
