Patient summary
Careprost with applicators supplies bimatoprost 3ml eye drops and the applicators, for glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It drains fluid from the eye.
Mechanism of action
Acts by enhancing the drainage of fluid from the eye, lowering pressure that can damage the optic nerve.
Careprost with applicators is bimatoprost 0.03% eye drops in a 3ml bottle, supplied with fine applicator brushes for the eyelashes. Bimatoprost was first used for glaucoma and ocular hypertension as Lumigan; patients noticed longer, fuller, darker eyelashes, and in December 2008 the US FDA approved the same 0.03% solution, as Latisse, for thin eyelashes (hypotrichosis).
For the lashes, the solution goes on the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the lashes, never the lower lid, with a fresh applicator for each eye. The effect builds slowly: in most people it is not visible until about 2 months, and the lashes return to how they were after stopping. The eyelid skin can darken, which fades after stopping; darkening of the coloured part of the eye (the iris) has also been reported and does not reverse. People with glaucoma or another eye condition should ask their eye doctor first.
