What is Lumigan 3ml
Allergan India manufactures Lumigan 3ml eye drop. It contains the active salt Bimatoprost, which treats elevated eye pressure caused by Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension. Increased pressure inside the eyes can damage the optic nerve, potentially leading to vision problems or permanent blindness if untreated.
Bimatoprost lowers intraocular pressure by enhancing fluid drainage from the eye, helping maintain healthy eye function and preventing further damage. The medicine is applied as one drop in the affected eye every evening, following your doctor’s instructions. In case a dose is missed, administer it immediately, but do not use two doses simultaneously. Accidental overdose is uncommon, but swallowing the drops or using excessive amounts requires medical consultation.
Common side effects include eye redness, itching, blurred vision, or darkening of the eyelid or iris. Some patients may notice longer or thicker eyelashes. To maintain hygiene and prevent contamination, avoid touching the dropper to any surface or your eye. Remove your contact lenses before applying the eye drop and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Inform your doctor about other eye medications, recent infections, or surgeries. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor eye pressure and ensure ongoing eye health.

FAQs
How long does it take for Lumigan 3ml to work?

If you experience severe burning, redness, swelling, or pain after using Lumigan, stop using the drops immediately and contact your ophthalmologist. Do not restart treatment until your doctor evaluates the reaction and provides specific guidance on whether to continue or change therapy.
